In addition, students who are interested in nearly every other major offered at UConn can complete one or two years of study here at the Avery Point campus. Several STEM-related graduate programs are also offered, including Engineering, Nursing (Certificate Entry Into Nursing CEIN/BS), Oceanography, and Teacher Certification for College Graduates (TCPCG).

The campus features a renovated library, a $9 million student center, student recreation facilities, an active waterfront program, state-of-the-art classrooms, and continued improvement under NextGenCt legislation. These venues offer you opportunities to engage with our faculty and your peers. UConn Avery Point has an active student government organization and numerous activities for students on and off campus.
