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.
