INNOVATION IN ACTION!

Opened during the summer of 2022, this new laboratory was created to enable students at Central to learn the skills needed to excel in the 21st century workplace and bring opportunities to students and faculty to collaborate with area businesses to solve real-world problems. Two specialty labs – Forensic Analytics and Banking & Finance – will be completed this year! Our vision is for the School of Business at Central Connecticut State University to become a leading provider of business analytics experts and innovation to the region.
