School of Nursing and Health Careers

Posted in CT State.

To support an increasing number of health-related careers, CT State Community College offers many academic options for prospective students. Health career professionals help evaluate, treat, and prevent illnesses by collaborating in a variety of health fields, and individuals with many different skill levels can be successful in these areas. While some professions involve working directly with patients, others work behind the scenes, playing important roles in the healthcare field.

Students who enjoy helping others, doing hands-on or detailed work, problem-solving, or have an interest in a medical-related field, can find an affordable and flexible career solution by earning an associate degree or certificate in one of many allied health fields. Allied health consists of a group of health professionals who work toward the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. These professionals also promote disease prevention and wellness and work to support various healthcare systems.

For students interested in a career in nursing, the Connecticut Community College Nursing Program (CT-CCNP) is an innovative associate degree program of study offered at six CT State campuses. The program serves a diverse population of students, offers excellent clinical sites, and has a thirty-plus-year record of proven success.

For those students who are interested in other health careers such as laboratory medicine, occupational and physical therapy assistant, respiratory care, and more, the CT State Community College offers degrees, certificates, and associate degree programs which, in many cases, can be built upon and lead to a higher degree at our other four-year institutions.

School of Engineering and Technology

Posted in CT State.

CT State Community College’s Engineering and Technology programs emphasize how users interact with technology, the complexity of an information-rich society, and the impact of information in our lives. We pride ourselves in offering rich learning environments and pedagogically sound learning experiences.

Many of the engineering and technology associate degree programs at CT State have specialized curriculums to begin technology or engineering technology studies and transition to earning a four-year, bachelor’s degree in engineering or technology.

Students can also put their strengths to work and gain the skills needed to move quickly into entry-level manufacturing jobs. Manufacturing is resurging in Connecticut and beyond, and CT State Community College’s manufacturing degree and certificate programs enhance skills needed to work in many technical fields. Through attrition and the need for a highly skilled workforce, manufacturers are facing a shortage of skilled workers. This could be an opportunity to start a career doing exciting work at a higher-than-average rate of pay with full fringe benefits.
