Graduate Student Experience

Graduate students contribute greatly to making UHart the vibrant community that it is. During their time here, our graduate students enrich our lives and then go forward to continue on in their successful careers. 

We know our graduate students have a lot on their plate, so we've developed a number of ways students can feel a part of the campus community while also achieving their goals of personal and professional growth. 

Health & Well Being Resources

We offer many services and activities to allow you to take a break from academics and focus on your mental health and well-being.

Sports & Fitness

Inside our 13,000-square-foot Sports Center, you can work out in our newly renovated fitness facility or take a dip in our swimming pool. Facilities include a weight room, a basketball court, treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals. We also offer a wide range of sports-related activities, including soccer, flag football, softball, and volleyball.

Counseling and Psychological Services

University of Hartford’s Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) provides a range of short-term counseling and psychological services to the University community.
