Connecticut State Community College

Get to Know Us

Connecticut State Community College, also known as CT State, was launched on July 1, 2023 as the result of a consolidation of the state’s 12 community colleges. CT State has 12 campuses along with satellite locations in every corner of Connecticut, serving the residents of 169 towns, as well as neighbors from Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island.

As the largest community college in New England, CT State is an ambitious revisioning of higher education. Our goal as a public higher education institution is to provide a high-quality, affordable and accessible post-secondary education that enables students to achieve their life and career goals.

Small, focused classrooms; dedicated faculty and staff; and support services built into the cost of tuition are a few of the ways we offer students the academic, social and emotional support they need to succeed.

Tutoring centers across our campuses help students succeed academically while student activities and programs provide enriching and fun ways for students to get involved in campus life.
