Central Connecticut State University

Beyond The Classroom

Our academic programs offer real-world experience in a variety of fields, from journalism to archaeology to advertising. You can intern at ESPN, work on an archaeological dig in a neighboring community, or see your work in an ad campaign that airs around the world. These experiences will help you develop the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in your chosen field.
