Advising Portal

Welcome to the UConn Early College Experience Advising Portal. The Advising Portal has three sections, designed with the understanding that different populations require different information.  The first, UConn ECE and Your College Major, utilizes the drop down tool below to explore course connections to majors. The second, UConn ECE and Connecticut Career Clusters, offers a more direct pathway to a career within the state's framework. The Business & Administration and Healthcare Science & Nursing Pathways section describes existing partnerships with career goals in mind.

We encourage you to be open-minded and explore your interests.

UConn ECE and Your College Major

Selecting a major can be an intimidating task, but you do not need to have this decided before you go to college. Taking a UConn course can help you in making that decision. Are you taking Biology 1107 and want to know which majors that leads to? Or, do you already have a picture in your mind of what job you would like to have after college – a nurse, a land use management specialist, etc.? The below interface allows you to see these connections at UConn and General Education Requirements. There are similar requirements and pathways at other college and universities. Be sure to check their course catalogues.



Find your course in the Select by Course pull-down, and it will then list all the potential majors that require Biology 1107, or the course of your choosing. Likewise, use the Select by Major pull-down and find your intended major, and the interface will show you all the UConn courses offered through UConn ECE which support this major. It will help you decide whether taking HDFS 1070 and Physics 1401Q is best suited for your future.

Business & Administration and Healthcare Science & Nursing Pathways

Providing students access to relevant and meaningful college coursework that builds a foundation for post-secondary career and college success is fundamental mission of all Connecticut high schools. To be successful, district and school leadership continuously work in partnership with Connecticut Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) to provide students with the strongest pathways possible. Through the collective capacity of multiple partnerships, school districts can provide wide-scale access to career pathways that support student interest and career aspirations.

Many high schools offer partnerships with colleges and university concurrent and dual enrollment programs in addition to their partnership with UConn. Students should work with their school counselors to determine a pathway that is best suited to their interests. Below find examples of two such opportunities.
