List of colleges and universities in Connecticut
The following is a list of colleges and universities in the U.S. state of Connecticut. This list includes all schools that grant degrees at an associates level or higher, and are either accredited or in the process of accreditation by a recognized accrediting agency.
The state's flagship public university is the University of Connecticut,[1] which is also the largest school in the state. The remainder of the state's public institutions constitute the Connecticut State Colleges & Universities, comprising four state universities, twelve community colleges, and an online school, Charter Oak State College.[2] Connecticut is also the home of one of the five federally-run service academies, the United States Coast Guard Academy.
The oldest college in the state, founded in 1701, is Yale University, one of the most prestigious schools in the world.[3]
