Mission  
School mission: The University of Connecticut delivers a remarkable range of educational opportunities, including more than 100 academic majors, all at an exceptional value. Ranked one of the top public universities in the United States, UConn is the only public university in New England with its own Schools of Law, Social Work, Medicine and Dentistry. The outstanding average SAT scores of enrolled students indicate the high-caliber undergraduate education program, while the level of student satisfaction is evident in record-high retention rates and the largest percentage of students living on campus among public universities in the nation. The diverse student body at New England's "Public Ivy" enjoys state-of-the-art facilities on a campus vibrant with living and learning opportunities inside and outside the classroom, from the Honors and study abroad programs to more than 400 student clubs and avid campus-wide support for UConn's elite Division I athletics teams, known as "Huskymania."
