Connecticut State University System<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Connecticut State University System reaches throughout the state with major campuses in four metropolitan centers – –\u00a0Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, Eastern Connecticut State University in Willimantic, Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven, and Western Connecticut State University in Danbury – – and it enrolls over 36,000 students.<\/span><\/p>\n

The origins of the Connecticut State University System date back to 1849 with the founding of a school for teachers in New Britain. During their distinguished history, the campuses have evolved from normal schools to teachers\u2019 colleges to multipurpose state colleges, and, finally, to universities. Today, after 150 years of growth and development, the four campuses of the Connecticut State University System are thoroughly diversified institutions. Among their alumni are physicians, teachers, lawyers, dentists, nurses, clergy, businesspeople, journalists, scholars, librarians, artists, and a host of other professionals. The graduates of the campuses of the Connecticut State University System contribute to all aspects of Connecticut economic, social, and cultural life.<\/span><\/p>\n

The governance of the Connecticut State University System is the responsibility of a 15 member Board of Regents. Thirteen of the\u00a0Regents are appointed by the Governor and legislative leaders, and two are students elected to the Board by their classmates. The President of the Connecticut State University System is responsible for the administration of the system. Each campus is given a considerable measure of autonomy and functions under the leadership of a president.<\/span><\/p>\n
