Credit registration is under way for Connecticut State Community College (CT State) Housatonic’s spring 2026 semester, which begins Jan. 23. Classes are offered in person, online and in hybrid formats.
CT State Housatonic offers a wide range of associate degrees and certificate pathways that prepare students for transfer to four-year colleges or direct entry into the workforce. Popular programs at the Bridgeport campus include advanced manufacturing, business, health care, information technology and education pathways. Many courses satisfy general education requirements, and articulation agreements ease transfer to public and private institutions across the state.
Connecticut residents who are first-time college students may qualify for CT State’s tuition-free program. Eligibility details and the application process begin with completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov.

Scholarship and funding options — including veterans’ benefits, SNAP Employment & Training, and industry-specific scholarships — may be available. See ctstate.edu/workforce-development/funding-options for details.
