University of Connecticut–Avery Point is a small public liberal arts campus located in Groton, Connecticut, serving approximately 474 students. As a branch of the University of Connecticut system, it offers general studies programming in a suburban coastal setting, providing a more intimate alternative to UConn's main Storrs campus.

In-state tuition runs $17,010 annually, while out-of-state tuition is $39,678. The campus maintains open admissions, with an acceptance rate of 86.5%. Students admitted typically have SAT Reading scores around 610 and Math scores near 600 at the 75th percentile.

This campus works best for students seeking a smaller, more accessible entry point into the UConn system, particularly those who value a tight-knit community while working toward a general studies degree. Many students use Avery Point as a pathway to complete lower-level coursework before transferring to a larger UConn campus. For more information, visit averypoint.uconn.edu.
