The Student Achievement Measure is supported by six sponsoring associations, working together to provide a more comprehensive and accurate picture of student progress and completion as students move across institutions and state boundaries.

Central Connecticut State University

Central Connecticut State University is a public, non-for-profit, secular institution. Our student body consists of more than 10,000 students, of which 82% are undergraduates. Connecticut residents make up 95% of our students and 42% of the student body are from underrepresented populations. Most academic programs are offered in-person at the New Britain, Connecticut campus. Nearly 15% of undergraduate programs and 12% of graduate programs are offered in a hybrid modality. Online programs are limited to the graduate level with about 10% of programs offered via this modality. Central is the largest university in the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system. Founded in 1849, Central is also the state’s oldest publicly funded university. The University welcomed its 13th president, Dr. Zulma R. Toro, in January of 2017. She is the university’s first female president and its first Hispanic chief executive. The university comprises five academic schools — the School of Business, the School of Engineering, Science, & Technology, the School of Education, the College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, and the Carol A. Ammon College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. As a comprehensive public university, we offer quality degree programs at the baccalaureate, graduate, and doctoral levels. Central is a proud Community Engagement University designated by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
