Students, Success Ready

Physical Therapy

Matt Glassoff '21, DPT '24

The physical therapy program at UHart did a great job in finding me clinical settings that met my goals and desires. By the time I hit the clinic, I felt over-prepared to be successful in any clinical environment I was placed in—regardless of the situation.

Criminal Justice

Royston Lester '26

My favorite thing about UHart is how easily accessible my professors, advisors, and even other faculty members are. While at other colleges it would take weeks to get to talk to the president of the university or the dean, at UHart I see them walking around campus nearly every day. This has created a sense of community that helps me to thrive not just as an activist, but also as a student.

Visual Communication Design

I think having interactions in the Career Studio during panel sessions, alumni events, and activities gives us a networking opportunity that could lead to something greater, lie a job or internship.

What Makes UHart Different

We offer faculty who teach, research, and work in their fields. A liberal arts foundation that makes every graduate more adaptable. We provide direct connections to the employers, studios, labs, and organizations shaping Greater Hartford.

There is nothing more powerful than believing that you can be successful in college. Our first job is to build students up with confidence and then watch them fly.
