On July 1, 2023,[3] the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) granted[4] Connecticut State Community College (CT State or CSCC) initial accreditation as a new singly accredited comprehensive community college and now the largest community college in New England.
The combined institution will include the roughly 70,000[5] students at its twelve predecessor institutions with over 300 academic programs[6] offered across its statewide branch and satellite campuses.[7]
As of the Summer of 2023, the college was attended by 70,560[8] students: 40,802 credit-bearing and degree-seeking undergraduate students, 8,118 dual enrollment high school students, 10,006 non-credit workforce training students, 4,623 non-credit personal enrichment students, and 7,011 non-degree students. More than 60 percent of students are students of color, 67 percent are first-generation college students, and 98 percent are Connecticut residents. The school is part of the Connecticut State Colleges & Universities system (CSCU), which oversees Central, Eastern, Western, and Southern Connecticut State Universities and Charter Oak State College.
The college, four regional state universities, and Charter Oak State College are governed by the Connecticut Board of Regents for Higher Education,[9] established in 2011[10] to license and accredit the institutions and their programs, approve budgets, support planning, and coordinate technology operations.
Official college websites style the name of the system variously as CT State Community College, Connecticut State Community College, and CT State. [11]
