Central Connecticut State University's inclusive, student-centered approach is the key to its long history of success and impressive alumni-among them, former U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona; U.S. Congressman John Larson; and Ebenezer Bassett, the ﬁrst African American U.S. diplomat and New Britain Mayor Erin Stewart, the youngest female elected leader in the country at the time. Founded in 1849, Central is the state's ﬁrst publicly funded university and the largest in the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system. The university welcomed its ﬁrst female president and ﬁrst Hispanic chief executive, Dr. Zulma R. Toro, in 2017. Central comprises a School of Business; School of Engineering, Science, and Technology; School of Education; the Carol A. Ammon College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences; the College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences; and Graduate Studies. As a comprehensive public university, we provide broad access to 148 degree programs at the baccalaureate, graduate, and doctoral levels. We oﬀer an exciting array of majors, including Cybersecurity, Robotics and Mechatronics, Biomolecular Sciences, Criminology, Nursing, educator preparation programs, and more. By integrating the liberal arts into our academic programs, Central provides the foundation that cultivates an engaged and adaptable workforce. In a landscape of new industries, professions, and student populations, Central embraces a dynamic approach to academics, infrastructure, and student support. The new Artiﬁcial Intelligence Corridor and Cybersecurity Lab join a list of state-of-the-art facilities. The campus also features an Esports Center that oﬀers recreational and academic opportunities; a new ﬁtness and recreation center; and a centralized location for student support services, among others. Additionally, the campus provides an on-site childcare center. Central is also one of the few universities in Connecticut that have been designated as a Community Engagement University by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. To earn and maintain this designation, Central must be a committed partner with the communities it serves. Resources and expertise help the greater Hartford region solve the most pressing challenges. This connection to the community is a fundamental part of Central's education. Each student is afforded two experiential learning opportunities before graduation. This connection to the community is a fundamental part of Central education, and it builds upon our legacy of academic excellence in education. Nearly 80 percent of Central's graduates remain in Connecticut; as such Central is a driving force in Connecticut's economic, social, cultural, and intellectual development.
