UConn Online - Learning Transformed
Career-advancing online degrees, certificates, and courses that work for you.
New to Online Learning?
UConn's online degrees and certificates are known for their academic rigor, research-informed curriculum, accomplished students, and distinguished faculty.
Many of our students earned their baccalaureate degrees at UConn. Many more did not. Now they all share one thing in common: They can all call themselves UConn Huskies—proud members of UConn nation. Explore UConn's extensive opportunities for online learning and become part of the growing UConn nation TODAY! You belong here.
Why UConn Online?
All of our online courses are designed and taught by the same UConn faculty that teach students in on-campus programs.
Because UConn is an accredited R1 Research University (the highest designation of research activity), you can rest assured that all of our academic programs feature the most relevant and latest research-informed content. Our faculty have national and international reputations and are recognized subject matter experts.
Online program credentials, whether a graduate degree or a graduate certificate, are, first and foremost, UConn credentials. Graduates of online programs are eligible to participate in annual commencement exercises just like their on-campus counterparts. Graduates of online programs become part of the same large UConn family, now more than 250,000 alums strong! Just like every undergraduate and graduate degree our students earn, every online degree and graduate certificate we award bears the signature of the University of Connecticut — it’s your assurance that your credentials come straight from one of the nation’s top public Universities.
Flexible & Convenient
Most of our students are working professionals with busy lives and competing commitments. Our online courses are designed to optimize interaction with faculty and classmates, but unlike a traditional classroom environment, the online delivery method allows you to participate at your convenience. Got kids? Go online after they’re in bed. Do you work full-time? Study on the weekends? Like to get up in the middle of the night? Go for it—the coursework is accessible 24/7. Yes, there are deadlines and course milestones, but our courses are designed to provide sufficient flexibility to do your best work.
24-7 Technical Support
We provide students with extensive resources and knowledge bases to get started and have multiple levels of technical support to ensure they don't get sidetracked because of technical problems. We work hard to ensure our technology is fast, reliable, and secure.
Interactive
The HuskyCT learning management system has tools that allow you to interact with other students and faculty, from discussion boards to interactive messaging. Blackboard Collaborate (TM) delivers engagement that makes learners feel together in the same room via video collaboration and conference tools. You’ll learn not only from the professors but from your colleagues, too—fellow working professionals with real-world experiences to share.
Organized
Students are presented with a new module each week focusing on a specific topic. Each module follows the same format and includes delineated rubrics. You’ll have explicit guidelines regarding faculty member expectations and know exactly how each assignment or weekly task contributes to your grade.
ADA Accessible
We want all students to be successful. That’s why our courses embrace universal design principles with multiple means of representation that provide learners with various ways of interacting with other students and faculty and acquiring information and knowledge.
Top Learning Management Platform
The University uses HuskyCT—“Husky Course Tools—the name of our online learning management system. The application we use is Blackboard Learn Ultra, one of today’s most innovative course delivery tools enabling interactivity with course content, peers, and faculty.
