To be eligible for undergraduate admission at the University of Connecticut (UConn), applicants must complete a rigorous high school curriculum, including 4 years of English, 3 years of math (up to Algebra II), 2 years of lab science, 2 years of social studies, and 3 years of a single world language. A competitive GPA (typically 3.0+ for in-state and 3.5+ for out-of-state) is required.
Standardized test scores (SAT/ACT) are optional but may strengthen applications. Extracurricular involvement, essays, and letters of recommendation are also considered. Graduate programs have varying prerequisites, including a bachelor’s degree and program-specific requirements.
