Welcome to the Office of Higher Education!
Established in July 2011 (CGS Sec. 10a 1d) our Office offers a range of services to students, educators and higher education institutions including postsecondary career schools and colleges. Our objectives are to provide programs and opportunities for students of all ages who seek further education while maintaining Connecticuts renowned high academic standards.
This website provides an overview of our Offices functions, such as assisting students in exploring college payment options and ensuring that private colleges and career schools comply with rigorous state quality standards. It also includes information on Connecticuts successful Alternate Route to Teacher Certification program as well as state financial aid and AmeriCorps programs, which are among the most popular initiatives we oversee. Our ultimate aim is to promote access to relevant learning experiences. We encourage you to explore the links on our website for information.
