Founded in 1966 as a branch campus of
Manchester Community College, Middlesex Community College became an independent member of the Community College System in 1968. In 1973, the college moved to its present 38-acre campus, which overlooks the scenic Connecticut River and the City of Middletown. This institution offers Associate degree programs in preparation for transfer to four-year institutions, as well as occupationally-oriented Associate degree and Certificate programs. Short-term, non-credit courses, seminars and workshops, as well as targeted student services also help satisfy community and personal enrichment needs.
The less formal academic setting of the community college acts as a less threatening preparation for young students in need of academic nurturing, counseling, tutoring and guidance before enrolling in an educational setting requiring more self-sufficiency and focus.
