Its {{convert|350|acre|km2|adj=on}} main campus extends into neighboring [[Hartford]] and [[Bloomfield, Connecticut|Bloomfield]]. The university attracts students from 48 states and 43 countries. The degree programs at the University of Hartford hold the highest levels of accreditation available in the US, including the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET), the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges-Commission on Institutions of Higher Education (NEASC-CIHE).<ref>U.S. News and World Report, Best National Universities 2011 http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/national-universities-rankings/</ref><ref>University of Hartford Accreditation http://admission.hartford.edu/studying/accreditation.php</ref> ==History== The University of Hartford was chartered through the joining of the Hartford Art School, Hillyer College, and The Hartt School in 1957.<ref>{{cite web|title=University of Hartford|url=http://www.hartford.edu/}}</ref> Prior to the charter, the University of Hartford did not exist as an independent entity rather in the chronicles of Hillyer College, The Hartford Art School, and The Hartt School. The Hartford Art School, which commenced operation in 1877, was founded by a group of women in [[Hartford, Connecticut|Hartford]], including [[Harriet Beecher Stowe]] and [[Mark Twain]]'s wife, [[Olivia Langdon Clemens]], as the Hartford Society for Decorative Art. Its original location was at the [[Wadsworth Atheneum]], the first public art museum in the United States. It is still associated with the museum today. Hillyer College, which was named for the [[U.S. Civil War]] General [[Charles Hillyer]], was created as a part of the Hartford [[YMCA]] in 1879. In the early 20th century it provided instruction in automotive technology at a time when Hartford was a center for the infant automobile industry. In 1947, it was formally separated from the YMCA and saw an influx of a large number of World War II veterans afforded an education under the [[G.I. Bill]]. In the three school merger Hillyer brought its College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions, Barney School of Business, College of Engineering, Technology and Architecture, College of Arts and Sciences, and the contemporary Hillyer College, formerly known as the College of Basic Studies. [[The Hartt School]] was founded in 1920 by [[Julius Hartt]] and [[Moshe Paranov]]. It remains today as the University of Hartford's comprehensive performing arts conservatory, and is regarded among the most recognized schools for music, dance, and theatre in the United States. The university's athletic programs are the [[Hartford Hawks|Hawks]], and most teams play in the [[America East Conference]]. Following the 1983–1984 school year, the university elevated its athletics program to [[Division I (NCAA)|Division I]] status, the highest level of intercollegiate competition. Since 1988, the university has been a lead institution for the [[Space grant colleges|Connecticut Space Grant College Consortium]]. In the 1990s, pledging its commitment to women's education, the university bought the financially struggling Hartford College for Women (HCW). Since the university itself was in a difficult financial position, several years later HCW was closed. Although it is a private institution, the university hosts two magnet schools that serve students from Hartford and its surrounding suburbs: University of Hartford Magnet School (serving grades K-5) and [[University High School of Science and Engineering]] (serving grades 9–12). In the last decade, the university completed several ambitious building projects, including a new residence hall, Hawk Hall; the $34 million Integrated Science, Engineering, and Technology (ISET) complex; the Renée Samuels Center; the Mort and Irma Handel Performing Arts Center; and a new University High School building. In the summer of 2008, the bridge over the Park River connecting the academic and residential sides of campus was rebuilt. ==Admissions== The acceptance rate to the University of Hartford in the fall of 2014 was 71.2% for all new full-time freshman, transfers, re-admits, and fresh starts.
