The University of Hartford (UHart) is a private university in West Hartford, Connecticut, United States. Its 350-acre (1.4 km2) main campus extends into neighboring Hartford and Bloomfield. It enrolled approximately 6,000 undergraduate and graduate students as of fall 2024. The university is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 58% graduation rate means roughly 4 in 10 students who start don't finish, which is a real concern worth discussing before enrolling. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively modest $19,500, and the Hartford area offers solid access to internships and employers across insurance, healthcare, and arts industries. Worth considering if you have a clear program fit — particularly in music, engineering, or the arts — but make sure you understand why so many students leave before finishing.
