More Than a Campus. A Community.
At the University of Hartford, learning extends beyond the classroom into real-world experiences and communities. With ongoing connections to the Greater Hartford region, our students regularly engage in projects and partnerships that make a measurable impact. Whether it's improving local neighborhoods through volunteer work, performing classic productions like The Nutcracker, or welcoming future students during summer programs, every experience reflects a commitment to growth, collaboration, and purpose. The result is an environment where students are empowered to take action and thrive within the community we all share.

We immerse ourselves in short courses and stand-alone lectures on a wide and wild range of topics, including history, literature, STEM, fine and performing arts and current events. We partner with UHart’s seven colleges and myriad undergraduate departments to co-present courses on matters of the moment in the spheres of business, economics, politics, diversity/equity, and culture.
Our instructors are drawn from the finest of UHart faculty and outside experts, and they consistently enthuse about teaching the engaged Presidents’ College attendees.
Joining this community is simple: choose one or more from each semester’s bounty of courses; register; prepare for lift-off!
