Connecticut State Community College

Connecticut State Community College is a public institution located in New Britain, Connecticut, with an enrollment of approximately 33,645 students. As a community college, it serves a broad range of learners, including adults pursuing career-focused credentials and workforce training.

In-state tuition is $5,338 per year, while out-of-state students pay $15,596 per year. The average annual net price — the total estimated cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, and living expenses, after grant and scholarship aid is applied — is $11,513. This figure can exceed published tuition because it accounts for living costs, and it represents an average; individual costs will vary. Nearly half of students (45.4%) receive Pell Grants, which are awarded to students demonstrating financial need. A relatively small share of students — 8.3% — take out federal student loans, and among those who completed a credential and borrowed, the median federal loan debt was $9,200.

Among borrowers, 39.9% are reducing their loan balances within three years of entering repayment — meaning that just under four in ten borrowers are making enough progress to bring their principal down during that window. Median earnings stand at $41,344 per year, measured ten years after enrollment. This figure covers all federally-aided students who enrolled, including those who did not complete a credential, so it reflects a broader population than graduates alone.
