Program Design

The Connecticut College of Technology Pathways program allows students to complete an associate in science degree program in Technology Studies at MCC, and continue on to complete a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Technology, Engineering Technology or Technology Education at Central Connecticut State University’s (CCSU) School of Technology. The curriculum offers a broad range of studies in: STEM engineering drawing and computer-aided design (CAD), electronics, computer technologies, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and other courses in special areas of technology. The program also includes a solid core of courses in general education. Each of the courses is directly transferable to CCSU. Successful completion of the program allows students to enter their junior year at Central Connecticut State University.

Curriculum

Students may enroll in this program either full or part-time. Courses are offered both during the day or evenings. For students not yet prepared for the required mathematical courses, MCC offers a wide range of developmental course offerings.

*Becoming Connecticut State Community College

A merger of Connecticut’s 12 community colleges is underway. As a part of this merger, modifications will be made to academic programs. Students who do not complete their programs by the end of the Spring 2023 term will be matched with the Connecticut State Community College (CT State) program that most closely aligns with ​the student’s Spring 2023 program and is offered at the current Manchester Community College location. The College is committed to students completing their education with a minimum of disruption. Further details can be found and will be updated on the Frequently Asked Questions page: www.ct.edu/ctstate/academics.
