About Greater Hartford Campus
As its name indicates, the Greater Hartford Campus serves a broad section of the area's populace. This campus occupies 58 acres near Connecticut's capital city, Hartford. Through on-going partnerships with schools, businesses, government, national and neighborhood organizations, we provide hands-on learning and serve as a model of community service, opportunity and success for urban campuses. Opened on October 2nd, 1939 in the City of Hartford, we moved in 1970 to its present park-like location in the town of West Hartford. We offer students from the Hartford Metropolitan Region the flexibility of balancing family, work, and other personal commitments while receiving the full benefit of the University of Connecticut's high quality education and resources.
