01. What the School is Known For

From the School

WCSU's high-tech facilities, top researchers and inspiring professors help you develop professional and leadership skills.

120 years ago, the small, but hard-working community of Danbury had a collective dream: to build a teacher-training institution (then called The Normal School) that would give people access to higher education and a chance to "touch the future" of America by becoming teachers.

Over time, the three acres with a single building grew. We achieved the status of college and then full-fledged university with degree programs preparing successful professionals in everything from music and fine arts to accounting, from nursing and physical education to meteorology.

With our decades of providing academic excellence, a fantastic collegiate experience and affordable tuition, WCSU is a great choice.
