CT State Manchester Shines Nationally: Named Top Community College in CT and Eighth in the U.S. by WalletHub!
In August, the personal finance company WalletHub named CT State Manchester as the best community College in Connecticut in its Best and Worst Community Colleges report. Manchester also earned the rank of eighth best community college in the nation!
The rankings were determined with consideration for the cost of tuition and fees, average financial aid and scholarship support, education outcomes and career outcomes.
In celebration of this achievement, a reception was held where Manchester mayor Jay Moran gave an Official Citation recognizing CT State Manchester for its exceptional contributions to the community. State Representative Jason Rojas brought warm regards from the Connecticut General Assembly, accompanied by a state-level Official Citation. State Representatives Jill Barry, Jeff Curry, Jason Doucette, and Senator MD Rahman were also part of the celebration.
Expressing her pride, CEO Nicole Esposito, EdD, shared, "I am so proud of this institution and the amazing faculty, staff, and leadership team that played a role in earning this national recognition. Being named the eighth-best community college in the country and the top one in Connecticut is a testament to our dedication to students and our commitment to our community."
