About Our Programs

The Enrichment Programs are offices that provide enhancing experiences for UConn students, encouraging them to elevate their studies. The Honors Program is unique in that it requires an invitation, determined by a holistic review of every UConn candidate.

The remaining Enrichment Programs are open to all students at all campuses. Our Directors work with undergraduates to navigate competitive scholarship and fellowship competitions, offer guidance on research, and mentorship for professional degrees. There are also opportunities for students to craft their own plans of study through individualized studies or the highly selective University Scholar Program.

We encourage you to explore all that Enrichment Programs can offer, and invite you to be our partner in helping students reach their goals.

    Health Research Program Information Session
    Come to this information session to learn more about the Health Research Program (HRP). HRP is a program coordinated by the Office of Undergraduate Research that offers a pathway into undergraduate research for students with interests in health and/or the biomedical sciences. By facilitating connections between UConn Health researchers and UConn undergraduates, the program aims to involve more students in research at UConn Health.

    Summer 2021 opportunities are now posted on the HRP website (https://ugradresearch.uconn.edu/hrp/). There are 34 opportunities that range from psychiatry to biological modeling, biomaterials to neuroscience, genetics to public health. The application deadline for these opportunities is 11:59pm on Monday, February 1, 2021.

    All of these opportunities are slated to continue into the 2021-22 academic year. Continuation is contingent on satisfactory progress over the course of the summer and both student and faculty mentor interest in continuing the placement.

    To be eligible for Summer 2021 HRP opportunities, students must plan to graduate no sooner than May 2022.

    Further details are available on the HRP website and will be covered in this information session.
