英文版介绍
The University of Connecticut （Connecticut or UConn） is the State of Connecticut's land-grant university. It was founded in 1881 and serves more than 28,000 students on its six campuses, including nearly 8,000 graduate students in multiple programs.
UConn's main campus is in Storrs, Connecticut. The university's president is Dr. Michael J. Hogan, noted historian and former provost of the University of Iowa.
Considered a Public Ivy by some higher education specialists, UConn is one of the founding institutions of the Hartford, Connecticut/Springfield, Massachusetts regional economic and cultural partnership alliance known as New England's Knowledge Corridor. It is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
一、Campuses
The main university campus is located in Storrs, Connecticut, which is a division of the Town of Mansfield, approximately 28 miles （45 km） east of Hartford, the state's capital. It is situated between North Eagleville Road and South Eagleville Road. The Storrs Road （CT Route 195） cuts through the campus from north to south.
In addition to the main campus in Storrs, there are five regional campuses: Avery Point （in Groton）, the Greater Hartford campus （West Hartford）, Stamford, Torrington, and Waterbury.
The University of Connecticut School of Law is located in Hartford, the School of Social Work is on the Greater Hartford Campus in West Hartford, and the School of Medicine and the School of Dental Medicine are both located at the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington. There is a downtown Hartford branch that houses teaching and research facilities for the School of Business.
二、Academics
Funded by the UCONN 2000 program, the modern Chemistry Building opened in 1998; it is designed to resemble an old New England mill from the outside.
UConn has repeatedly been ranked the top public university in New England by U.S. News and World Report, and is also ranked among the top 25 public research universities nationally.
UConn offers 105 majors, eight undergraduate degrees,16 graduate degrees and five professional degree programs.Students can choose from 64 different minors at UConn, including some areas of study that are not offered as formalized majors. Some areas of study offered formally only as minors at UConn include: Asian American Studies, Aquaculture, Bioinformatics, Criminal Justice, Film Studies, Human Rights, Middle Eastern Studies, Native American Studies, and Slavic & East European Studies.

The University of Connecticut School of Law and the University of Connecticut School of Business are two of the top-ranked public graduate schools of their kind in the nation, and the School of Fine Arts' puppetry department is the most influential in the United States.
三、Facilities
1、Utilities
Because it is situated in a fairly rural area, the UConn campus at Storrs has facilities that allow it to be virtually self-sufficient. These include a waste treatment plant, a large natural gas generator which provides the entire campus with electricity, and a water filtration plant which is supplied by the nearby Mansfield Hollow reservoir. Like many UConn facilities, these three are also used for live research and as test environments for students who are engaged in related fields.
2、Libraries
The University of Connecticut Libraries form the largest public research collection in the state of Connecticut.
The main library is the Homer D. Babbidge Library at the Storrs campus, which underwent a million renovation that was completed in 1998, making it then the largest public research library in New England. The Storrs campus is also home to the university's Music and Pharmacy libraries, as well as the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center, home to the university's archives and special collections, including international, federal, and state document and manuscript collections. Each of the regional campuses also have their own libraries, including the Jeremy Richard Library at UConn-Stamford and the Trecker Library in West Hartford. These libraries are tied into the Babbidge library through a shared catalogue.
The Babbidge-based collection, which places UConn among the top 30 universities in the nation for both library holdings and funding, contains more than 2.5 million print volumes; approximately 2,500 current print periodicals; more than 35,000 unique electronic journals available through the eJournal locator;2.8 million units of microform; 180,000 maps at the Map and Geographic Information Center （New England's largest public map collection）; thousands of electronic books; and an array of free electronic information sources. The UCL also license approximately 265 electronic search databases,many of which contain the full-text of research journals, monographs, and historic documents. Members of the UConn community can access these resources from off-campus by logging in to the VPN with their netID and password.
The Lyman Maynard Stowe Library, which is housed at the University of Connecticut Medical Center, is one of eight federally-funded National Network of Libraries of Medicine libraries. The University of Connecticut School of Law houses the School of Law Library at its campus in Hartford. The Stowe and Law libraries have catalogues separate from the Babbidge system, making the total library holdings of the University of Connecticut much higher than the 2.5 million print volumes of Babbidge.
Additionally, UConn is the home of the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research, which is the world's most comprehensive survey and public opinion data library.
In addition to their own libraries, UConn participates in outside library consortia, including the New England Law Library Consortium. The Dodd Research Center has also formed a partnership with the African National Congress to share materials with South African scholars.
3、Athletics
UConn's sports teams, known as the Huskies, participate in the NCAA's Division I-A and in the Big East Conference, except for the men's hockey program, which competes in Atlantic Hockey, and women's hockey, which is a member of Hockey East. Many UConn athletes, including Darin Lewis, Damani Ralph, Ray Allen, Richard Hamilton, Rebecca Lobo, Diana Taurasi and Dan Orlovsky, have gone on to success in professional sports.
Approximately 70% of all UConn student-athletes graduate from the university, and almost 50% maintain a 3.0 GPA. The women's lacrosse team had the second-highest team GPA in the country in 2004, and numerous UConn student-athletes, including former basketball star Emeka Okafor, have been named Academic All-Americans. In 2003, the football team was also honored for being one of only seven schools in the U.S. to graduate 80% or better of its members; it was the only public school on the list. UConn is best known for having its men's and women's basketball teams consistently ranked in or near the top 10 in the nation in their respective divisions. The men's team won NCAA Division I titles in 1999 and 2004, and the women have won in 1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2004. In 2004, the University of Connecticut became the first and only Division I school to win National Championships in both men's and women's basketball during the same year. Additionally, UConn is a perfect 7-0 in National Championship games played. Because of the UConn basketball teams' success, along with its image as a party school, UConn has been called "a drinking school with a basketball problem." In 2008, the men's team was upset by the 13th seeded San Diego Toreros in the NCAA Championship tournament. They lost in overtime, 70-69; it was the first time the Huskies have been ousted in a first round matchup. The women's basketball - ranked No. 1 for most of the season - lost to Stanford in the Final Four in Tampa, Florida ending their season at 36-2. In addition to its basketball success, UConn is known for its championship soccer teams, which have the highest average attendance in the nation for both men's and women's teams. The men's team has been the national champion three times （1948, 1981, and 2000）, while the women's soccer team advanced to the NCAA National Championship title game in 1984, 1990, 1997, and 2003.
UConn also is a national power in Field Hockey, having advanced to the Final Four 9 times and winning the National Championship in 1981 and 1985.
UConn football moved up to Division I-A status in 2000 and became a full Big East member in 2004. The Huskies had their first bowl victory in the 2004 Motor City Bowl. In 2007, the football team recorded their first national ranking, climbing as high as 13th in the BCS standings. The 2nd fastest a new Division I-A team has been nationally ranked, the Huskies were rewarded with a trip to the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
Other intercollegiate sports offered are baseball, men's and women's track and field/cross country, field hockey, men's golf, women's rowing, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, and women's volleyball.
