Honors Program

The UConn Honors Program allows high-achieving students to enrich their undergraduate education through challenging coursework, smaller classes, faculty advisors, a shared community network, Honors housing, events, education abroad, special programs, and the Honors thesis/project experience.

Individualized and Interdisciplinary Studies Program

The Individualized and Interdisciplinary Studies Program (IISP) works with undergraduates who wish to design their own majors or pursue select interdisciplinary minors (including Global Studies, European Studies, and Crime and Justice). Individualized majors are based in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences or College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources, and may draw on courses in other schools and colleges.

Office of National Scholarships & Fellowships

The Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships (ONSF) advises and mentors students and recent alumni who are competing for prestigious, nationally-competitive scholarships and fellowships. ONSF is open to all graduate and undergraduate students at the University, including students at the regional campuses.

Office of Undergraduate Research

The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) helps students find and develop opportunities to engage in independent or collaborative research across the University’s academic disciplines. OUR is a resource for students in all majors on all UConn campuses seeking to enrich their undergraduate experiences through participation in research, scholarship, and creative activity.

Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Advising and Pre-Law Advising 

The Office of Pre-Professional Advising offers support and guidance to all UConn students and alumni interested in pre-law or pre-health pathways (primarily medical, dental, and PA) as they establish and achieve professional school admission and career goals.

University Scholar Program

Available to students from all of the University’s schools and colleges, the University Scholar Program allows students to design and pursue an in-depth research or creative project and to craft an individualized plan of study that supports their intellectual interests during their final three semesters. Graduation as a University Scholar recognizes a student’s extraordinary engagement with self-reflective learning and research or creative endeavors.
