About This School
Connecticut State Community College is a public institution located in New Britain, Connecticut with approximately 33,645 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $11,513 per year. Typical graduates earn $35,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
Connecticut State Community College was formed on July 1, 2023, through the merger of all twelve community colleges in the US state of Connecticut. The public and comprehensive multi-campus community college is headquartered in New Britain, Connecticut.
Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs down while earning a credential — at just $8,865/year after aid and a median debt of only $5,235, this is one of the more affordable paths in Connecticut. That said, the median earnings of $35,600 a decade out are modest, so this school makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a targeted career program rather than a final destination. As a newly unified system formed in 2023 from twelve separate colleges, expect some growing pains as administration and services continue to consolidate across campuses.
