In addition to its main Mohegan Campus, Three Rivers Community College maintains the Thames Valley Campus at 574 New London Turnpike in Norwich, as well as two off-campus instructional centers located at the Naval Submarine Base in Groton and Waterford High School. The College 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.
The 2-year community college experience is also a less expensive way to complete the first two years of a four year study program.
