The faculty in the Management Information Systems (MIS) department are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely interested in students' success. Their doors are always open for guidance, which makes navigating through complex topics much more manageable.
CCSU offers a wide range of resources that have been incredibly helpful throughout my studies. The library is well-stocked, and the IT support is robust—both crucial for my major. Additionally, there are numerous labs and study spaces that encourage a productive learning environment.
One of the highlights for me has been the sense of community on campus. There's a strong camaraderie among students, and numerous clubs and organizations make it easy to get involved and make connections.
While the career support services are helpful, I feel there could be more proactive engagement, especially for MIS majors. More tech-focused career fairs and direct recruitment opportunities with leading IT companies would be highly beneficial.

I love being a student here at Central Connecticut State University and I am proud to be a member of the blue devil family! Central offers a great support group academically and socially. There is free tutoring and academic support on campus. Student life is amazing and school is constantly offering interesting events for the students. Every Thursday there is an event called Devil's Den at Ten, where a random club or group will host a fun little event in one of our dining areas for all students. This is honestly one of my favorite parts of the week!
I first began as history education major, and it soon became clear that the ccsu education program is horrible. History education advisors inform you that you must take 5 years (full time) to complete the bachelors degree. But they only inform you of this when you’re a junior and expecting to be done, when most of the time your finances are becoming slim. But on the other hand, after switching into only history (no longer Ed), this program is amazing! Ccsu history faculty are genuinely caring and generous with their time with students. History BA is an amazing opportunity at ccsu and not something anyone would regret completing
