Connecticut's Community Colleges provide the point of entry and encouragement for learners to achieve both short and long-term goals. Non-credit programs from computer programs to business management, and degree and certificate programs, from liberal arts to information technology, offer skill building opportunities and steppingstones to advanced degrees, certification, and licensure in many fields.
Many students with advanced degrees return to community colleges to learn new skills, keep up with changing technologies, or change directions in their careers.
Personal interest programs such as Financial Planning, Entrepreneurship, and Electronic Publishing build skills, broaden horizons, and expand workforce opportunities.
The convenience, flexibility and support offered by a community college ensure student success and encourage students to explore their interests, test themselves and discover their potential.
Connecticut's Community Colleges are the right choice for nearly 100,000 students every year.
