It’s a diverse and vibrant community of more than 9,800 students, with campuses around the country and around the world. Within its five colleges, students immerse themselves in a transformative, career-focused education across the liberal arts and sciences, fine arts, business, engineering, public safety, and public service. We offer more than 100 academic programs, all grounded in a long-standing commitment to collaborative, interdisciplinary, project-based learning. Here, the experience of learning is both personal and pragmatic, guided by a distinguished faculty who care deeply about individual student success. As leaders in their fields, faculty members provide the inspiration and recognition needed for students to fulfill their potential and succeed at whatever they choose to do.

Our graduates are highly sought after and known by employers to be work-ready. Our curricula in core engineering and applied science disciplines, combined with strong interdisciplinary coursework, internships in the field, co-curricular activities, and research opportunities, enable our graduates to remain a step ahead of the competition in today's crowded job market. The TCoE is the only private engineering college in Connecticut that offers eight nationally accredited engineering and applied science programs (chemical, civil, computer, electrical, mechanical and system engineering, computer science, and chemistry). The buzz is out there beyond Connecticut too as more than half of our incoming First-Year students come from out-of-state. We also serve a significant number of international and multicultural students.
