Th e Un i v e r s i t y o f Ha r t f o r d preview coaches players 2006-07 america east opponents hartford records Small Classes, Big Opportunity At the University of Hartford, classes are small, but the list of academic offerings is not. The University is a comprehensive, independent institution, offering educational and career programs in 89 undergraduate and 33 graduate areas of study in its seven schools and colleges. It prides itself on providing the intimacy of a liberal arts college with the creativity and intellectual excitement of a university. While the range of studies offered at the University is diverse, so, too, are the people. Enrolled are 4,796 full-time undergraduates, 841 part-time undergraduates, and 1,653 graduate students, representing 45 states and 58 countries. The full-time student-to-faculty ratio is 14:1. Tradition The University of Hartford dates back to 1877, when the first of its original three schools was founded. The Hartford Art School (1877), Hillyer College (1879), and The Hartt School (1920) joined in 1957 to form the University of Hartford. The origins of the University can be traced back to the wife of Mark Twain. Mrs. Samuel Clemens, along with Harriett Beecher Stowe of Uncle Tom’s Cabin fame, formed an art society that later became the Hartford Art School. Expansion The University has undertaken several ambitious building projects over the past half decade. A $34-million Integrated Science, Engineering, and Technology complex, which included major renovations to the adjacent Dana Hall (one of the original buildings on campus), opened in 2005. On its heels, new turf athletics fields brought a much different look to the opposite end of campus, benefitting students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community residents. The new Renée Samuels Center opened in January 2007, providing the Hartford Art School with new space for its photography and media arts programs. In fall 2007, Hawk Hall, a five-story residential facility for first-year students and its adjacent Alumni Plaza, a new outdoor gathering place for students, greeted students returning to campus. Now open just a mile from the University’s main campus, the Mort and Irma Handel Performing Arts Center houses five dance studios, four theatre rehearsal studios and two black box theatres. It is a vibrant center for dance and theatre instruction and performances at one of the key gateways to the city of Hartford. The University of Hartford also houses two public magnet schools on its campus— an elementary school for students from Hartford and several neighboring towns and University High School of Science and Engineering, which saw its legacy class graduate this past June. 76 Fo u r Am e r i c a Ea s t Ch a m p i o n s h i p s, Th r e e Re g u l a r Se a s o n Ti t l e s
Th e Un i v e r s i t y o f Ha r t f o r d Quality The University prides itself on its growing academic reputation, best illustrated by a consistent year-to-year increase in applications (more than 12,000 received annually) and selectivity (the University’s acceptance rate is lower than at any time in its history). The educational experience takes place in small, supportive classroom environments. Location The charm of the suburbs and the opportunities of the city all come alive at the University of Hartford. Situated on a 340- acre, wooded, suburban campus, the University borders Hartford, West Hartford, and Bloomfield. Midway between Boston and New York City, downtown Hartford, only five miles away, is gaining a name for itself. Campus Activities Numerous social, recreational, and entertainment alternatives exist for students on campus. More than 100 groups, clubs, and organizations, including campus media, student government, fraternities and sororities add to student life. The Campus Activities Team (CAT) is a student-run organization whose sole purpose is to schedule events for student enjoyment. The University of Hartford has gained a national reputation for the quality of cultural activities and fine-arts exhibits on its campus. The Hartt School and the Joseloff Gallery of the Hartford Art School are highly respected. Lincoln Theater, the Sports Center, and three auditoriums host numerous special events throughout the year. Student Living The University of Hartford offers five different housing options, all with the security and tranquility of a suburban campus. Students begin in traditional residence halls as freshmen, but may opt for three different types of apartment-style living during their upperclass years. Food options are plentiful on campus, with two traditional dining facilities, a sit-down restaurant, nighttime eatery, deli, premium coffee outlet, juice and smoothie bar, and the Village Market, the University’s own on-campus grocery store. A 21st-Century University Today’s University of Hartford has surpassed the founders’ original but modest plans for a local university in Hartford, becoming instead a vibrant and growing institution. The University of Hartford has become a university for the world.
