For nearly 170 years, CCSU has been a leader in public higher education, driven by the strength of our connections.
We strive to be connected to our past, to our community, and to each other in our effort to be of better service to our communities and the state of Connecticut. By teaching and embracing the value of connection, we cultivate a welcoming, inclusive, and respectful academic environment.
