What We Do
The Hartford Consortium for Higher Education offers programs for youth and adults in the region, as well as for students, faculty and staff among our member schools. As a partner with the MetroHartford Alliance, we collaborate with corporate and state employers to help strengthen our region’s workforce.

C-R expands a student’s college experience by opening courses across a spectrum of learning to students and employees from all Consortium member schools.

Career Beginnings
A college access program, established in 1986, CB is geared towards increasing the percentage of first-generation college applicants who graduate from high school and go directly on to college and fulfilling careers. CB provides workshops, one-on-one advising and mentoring to students in Hartford, Bloomfield and East Hartford public schools. Learn More

Awarded annually, the grants program joins faculty, staff and administrators from at least two member schools in collaborative projects that can take the form of lectures, course development, symposia, performances or any other endeavor that enriches the educational and cultural experiences of Consortium members.
