There are 100 colleges and universities in Connecticut for you to consider. With approximately 25,029 students, University of Connecticut is the largest school in Connecticut. It is located in the city of Storrs Mansfield. With approximately 12,461 students, Central Connecticut State University is the second largest school in Connecticut. It is located in the city of New Britain.
Along with choosing a college from among Connecticut's 100 schools, you will also have to choose a course of study from one of the 2,406 certificate and degree programs offered at these schools. If you choose to study business, liberal arts or education, you will be studying one of the most popular subjects in Connecticut for undergraduates. In 2010, 16% of the 112,431 students that graduated from Connecticut state schools, graduated with credentials in business. Another 11% graduated in liberal arts. And 7% graduated with credentials in education. The remaining 66% of students graduated with degrees or certificates in subjects such as computer science, animation or gerontology.
Choosing to pursue your higher education in a Connecticut school will put you in the company of the 202,080 students studying in Connecticut institutions. Approximately 83% of these students are enrolled in undergraduate programs, while 17% are enrolled in graduate programs. Of those enrolled in undergraduate programs in Connecticut, 67% are full-time students, while 33% are part-time students.
Connecticut has a relatively diverse student population. In 2009, 41% of undergraduate students identified themselves as belonging to a racial or ethnic minority background. The male to female ratio amongst undergraduates at Connecticut colleges and universities is 7 to 10. And approximately 85% of undergraduate students are 24 years of age or younger.
Just as the student population at Connecticut schools is relatively diverse, the faculty at Connecticut schools is also relatively diverse. Of the 69,137 faculty members employed by Connecticut colleges and universities in 2009, approximately 34% identified themselves as belonging to a racial or ethnic minority. Around 54% of the Connecticut's faculty population consisted of female faculty.
The average cost of an undergraduate education, factoring in tuition, living expenses and financial aid, in Connecticut was $15,421 per year for the 2009 school year, which is more than the national average. But this number can be misleading. If you attend Trinity College, the state’s most expensive school, an undergraduate education will cost you in the ball park of $40,840 per year. But if you instead enroll at United States Coast Guard Academy, Connecticut's least expensive school, your will only have to pay around $3,000 per year.
The average number of students who graduate from degree and certificate programs in Connecticut every year is 112,431. In Connecticut, in 2009, 1 out of 2 students who started an undergraduate program four to six years earlier graduated. And out of every 10 students who started their first year of an undergraduate degree 7 actually returned to study their second year. This means that if you enroll in a Connecticut school for your undergraduate degree, there is a 71% likelihood that you will return to school for year two of your education and 52% likelihood that you will graduate after 4-6 years.
