Founded in 1849, CCSU is the state's oldest publicly funded university. It is also the largest university within the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system. CCSU is a driving force of the economic, social, cultural, and intellectual development of Connecticut, an enabler of social mobility, and a committed community partner. This connection to community is a fundamental part of a CCSU education. It distinguishes our university from our sister institutions; it sets our students apart from their peers; and it builds upon our legacy of academic excellence and equity in education.
