September 8, 2026 - News Release
CT State Middlesex Campus

Connecticut State Community College (CT State) will offer accelerated courses during the fall 2026 semester at its campuses statewide, with classes beginning in September and October.

Students can earn up to four credits and take classes online or on campus. Accelerated classes cover the same material as a standard 15-week semester course, but in a shorter time frame, giving students opportunities to advance their studies with greater flexibility. Visiting students are welcome and can check with their home college about transferring credits.

CT State’s accelerated classes span a range of subjects in business, humanities, social sciences, STEM and the arts. Options include accounting, art history, astronomy, business, chemistry, computer programming languages, creative writing, criminal justice, economics, geography, English as a second language, entrepreneurship, environmental science, history, philosophy, psychology, sociology, statistics and world languages.

Financial aid and payment plans are available for full- and part-time credit students who qualify, and eligible students can use veterans benefits. New students interested in registering should begin by completing the free online application at www.ctstate.edu/apply.
