UConn Stamford provides all the benefits of a prestigious public research university in a small college setting. Learning opportunities both in and out of the classroom dare them to achieve more than they ever imagined.

Students can complete 4-year programs in a number of business and social science majors, computer science, or UConn’s multidisciplinary degree in digital media and design.
