Connecticut State Community College was formed on July 1, 2023, through the merger of all of the twelve community colleges in the state of Connecticut. [1] [2] The public and comprehensive multi-campus community college headquartered in New Britain, Connecticut.

On July 1, 2023, [3] the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE)  granted [4] Connecticut State Community College (CT State or CSCC) initial accreditation as a new singly accredited comprehensive community college and now the largest community college in New England.

The combined institution includes roughly 70,000 [5] students at its twelve predecessor institutions with over 300 academic programs [6] offered across its statewide branch and satellite campuses. [7]   More than 60 percent of students are students of color, 67 percent are first-generation college students, and 98 percent are Connecticut residents. The school is part of the Connecticut State Colleges & Universities system (CSCU), which oversees Central, Eastern, Western, and Southern Connecticut State Universities and Charter Oak State College.

The college, four regional state universities, and Charter Oak State College are governed by the Connecticut Board of Regents for Higher Education, [8] established in 2011 [9] to license and accredit the institutions and their programs, approve budgets, support planning, and coordinate technology operations.
