Nursing

I was looking for a University that besides being flexible, accredited, and affordable, would also provide an opportunity to visit in person in case I needed assistance. The first time I went to CCSU, I met many wonderful staff members, and I was able to get a scholarship, loans, and CCSU accepted all the credits which I accumulated in this long journey. I am really happy with my decision on joining the CCSU family.

After speaking with other nurses who are taking online courses at other schools, I am glad I chose CCSU. I have been challenged beyond my expectations. I have learned a great deal and every instructor has been supportive and amazing. The feedback has also been very important to me, and I feel it has enabled me to improve along the way.
