The Virtual Graduate Open House at the University of Connecticut’s College of Engineering is a fantastic opportunity for prospective graduate students, including those interested in pursuing a PhD or MS, to explore the school’s programs. During the event, students will have the chance to engage directly with faculty and staff from various departments, giving them a personalized view of what UConn offers in terms of research and academic opportunities.

This interactive session allows attendees to meet 1:1 with professors, where they can ask detailed questions about specific departments, ongoing research, and potential career paths. It’s an invaluable way to learn about the types of cutting-edge research happening at UConn and what it’s like to be part of the academic community. Attendees will gain insights into the application process, potential funding options, and professional development resources available for graduate students.

The event typically includes presentations on different aspects of UConn’s engineering programs, including highlights of the university’s Carnegie R1 status (signifying its top-tier research capabilities), and the graduate school’s focus on experiential learning to address real-world engineering challenges.

For folks interested in joining a research-driven, innovative academic environment, this open house will help you connect with faculty, explore their work, and understand how UConn can support your graduate studies ambitions.
