New Students

As a newly accepted student to the University of Hartford who has indicated a preference for a major in business administration, the Barney School of Business extends a warm welcome to you.

You will be receiving a lot of information during orientation in your first week on campus.  This web page adds a little more to help you get acclimated to college life and learn about the Barney School.

The most helpful organization for you in the Barney School is the Office of Academic Services, located in Auerbach Room 227.  We are your primary support team for the first two years of your program. We maintain your academic files, assist you when choosing classes each semester, and help you find the answers to any questions you might have.
You may make an appointment by stopping in the office and speaking to the administrative assistant or calling (860) 768-4444. Students with appointments are always given first priority. Advisors also have designated times where students may be seen on a walk-in basis. Feel free to call the office to inquire about our “walk-in” times, as well as to have quick questions answered.
Once you have declared a major, you will also be assigned a faculty advisor who teaches in that department. This faculty member will help you make the best decisions regarding major course selection and provide career advice related to your chosen field.
