University Scholar Program

Each year up to thirty juniors are selected for the University Scholar
Program through an application process sponsored by the Honors Program.
All undergraduate Honors and non-Honors students from all campuses
may apply. This prestigious program allows motivated students to pursue
individualized and intellectually challenging programs of study that include
an intensive research or creative project and a more robust program of
coursework to complement the project. Students are usually members of
the Program for the last three semesters of undergraduate study. Graduation
as a University Scholar is the highest academic honor bestowed upon
undergraduates by the University of Connecticut.
Students interested in applying to the Program are encouraged to begin
planning no later than the second semester of their sophomore year. Program
applicants must submit a “letter of intent,” an application, and appropriate
documentation by the published deadlines. Applicants must completely and
clearly describe their proposed University Scholar project, including the
subject matter, topic, or issue of interest and the methods and resources to
be used to complete the project. They must also delineate the set of courses
that would enable them to explore their interests in depth. In late fall, the
University Scholar Oversight and Selection committee selects recipients for
this award according to the creativity, clarity, detail, and thoughtfulness of
the applicants’ proposed research projects and programs of study.
An advisory committee assembled by the student and composed of three
full-time faculty members with representation from the student’s major(s),
of whom at least one must be a tenured or tenure track faculty, guides the
student through his or her study or project. The scholarly work culminates
with a tangible product, such as a completed research paper or work of
art. Upon completion of the approved University Scholar project and plan
of study and the submission of appropriate forms to the Honors Program
Office, students earn the title of University Scholar. Students in the Uni-
versity Scholar Program receive awards in an amount set by the Provost
or designee for every remaining semester (up to three semesters) that the
student enrolls in his or her undergraduate program. University Scholars
may be granted other benefits such as permission to enroll in graduate
courses, priority registration, priority housing, and special library privi-
leges. University Scholars are also relieved from the maximum credit
load during any given semester. Participation in the University Scholar
Program is noted on students’ academic transcripts at entry and for each
semester enrolled. Graduation as a University Scholar is recognized at
commencement and on the academic transcript and diploma.

semester, all admissions to MEM are subject to the above restrictions.
Supplemental Academic Standards
After admission into the Management and Engineering for Manufacturing
program, students must maintain a high standard of scholastic achievement
to continue in the major program. Any student having completed 24 or
more credit hours must maintain a minimum 2.79 cumulative grade point
average. A student failing to meet this standard is subject to dismissal from
the program.
The Management and Engineering for Manufacturing program is accredited
by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org.
Field Study Internships
Internship experiences provide students an opportunity for supervised field
work in areas of business and government. Regular internship programs
are available on a limited basis in accounting, real estate, health systems
