The University of Connecticut at Torrington offers a high quality and affordable academic experience to people in Litchfield County and the Farmington Valley.

The 100 acre campus is located in a quiet rural setting on the western outskirts of the city of Torrington and consists of a large classroom building and ample parking.

Well equipped science laboratories, an art studio, computer rooms, a UConn Co-op bookstore, a 250 seat auditorium, a student lounge, and a cafeteria are all part of the facility. An 18,000 volume library subscribes to more than 100 journals, periodicals, and newspapers, and provides access to all other UConn libraries, as well as to public libraries and the libraries of other schools.

The student population is approximately 400, and the student to faculty ratio is 10 to 1. Accessibility of faculty and quality of instruction are the cornerstones of the Torrington Campus's academic excellence.

The University of Connecticut offers more than ninety Majors and Academic Programs within its eleven undergraduate schools and colleges. At the Torrington Campus, students may begin any of these majors with the exception of Music. Most students relocate ("branchfer") to the Storrs Campus after two years at Torrington; in some programs, they branchfer earlier to accommodate specialized curricular needs.

Additionally, many junior and senior level courses are offered, primarily for those students in the Bachelor of General Studies program, who can complete requirements for a UConn degree at the Torrington Campus.

Non-degree study is also available.  This program enables qualified individuals to register for regular credit courses for academic credit without being formally admitted to an undergraduate degree program.

Peer tutors assist students in math and writing skills, and students with disabilities can be accommodated with appropriate documentation.

Financial aid, packaged through the Financial Aid Office at the Storrs Campus, is available and requires the submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Financial aid questions can be directed to Registrar/Bursar David Horvath at the Torrington Campus. Scholarships are also offered through the generosity of the local community.

Student activities at the campus are sponsored by the Associated Student Government, and have included such events as pizza parties, scavenger hunts, concerts, bus trips, and the annual Spring Fling to celebrate the end of the school year. Membership at the Torrington YMCA is free for all students who have a UConn Torrington ID.

The Torrington Campus is actively involved in many aspects of the local community, including economic development and the arts. The campus is the home of public service radio station WAPJ 89.9FM, which provides students with the opportunity to participate in live radio programming. The Torrington Campus is also the home of the Litchfield County Writers Project  which, in addition to housing a collection of the published works of Litchfield County authors, includes programs and seminars by and about those authors.
