In all departments, graduate faculty combine a commitment to teaching with a program of scholarly research. Many department members actively pursue grants to benefit the institution, graduate programs and students who attend Central Connecticut State University. Part-time faculty also serve as specialists within an area or field, sharing their professional experience with the University's students in classroom settings.
Students have access to the expertise of all faculty members while pursuing their graduate studies.
Faculty work with each of their students as teachers and mentors. Small classes and the opportunity for extensive interaction with instructional faculty help to personalize the academic experience for graduate students. All graduate degree and planned study programs afford a maximum period of six years for completion. Flexible course scheduling accommodates the educational plans of both groups. Selected teacher and professional certification programs may require one semester of full-time status while training in a school setting.
