University description (as per official university website)
For over 30 years Gateway Community College has played a major role in the higher educational pursuits of residents in the greater New Haven.
There's a reason why Gateway Community College was listed in the New York Times as the top community college in the state. Over 11,000 students a year, full and part-time, choose Gateway Community College. And, with a new, state-of-the-art campus due to open downtown in 2011, Gateway students will have the additional benefits and convenience of being centrally located in a thriving city, with academic, cultural, and retail opportunities within blocks of the campus.
Gateway Community College is currently located on two campuses, the Long Wharf Campus in New Haven and the North Haven Campus. The college offers over 90 academic programs and program options that lead to either associate in arts, associate in science, or associate in applied science degrees, or certificates. Courses at both locations are offered at convenient times for both full-time and part-time study during the day, evenings and Saturday mornings and the internationally respected faculty ranks among the finest educators in Connecticut.
