Central Connecticut State University
Founded in 1849 as the New Britain Normal School-a teacher-training facility-CCSU is Connecticut’s oldest publicly supported institution of higher education. It became the Teachers College of Connecticut in 1933, and after a period of extensive institutional growth it became the Central Connecticut State College in 1959. In recognition of the institution’s continuous development in mission and aspiration, the present name and educational charter were conferred in 1983.
