Applying to Southern

your goal: a great education and a future that matters.

All journeys start with a goal. Where you end up may surprise you.

Choose a college. The operative word is "choose." For most of your life, you were bound by curriculum and geography. Now, the choice of curriculum and geography is in your hands. So much freedom is exhilarating -- and maybe a little frightening. How will you make the right choice?

First, choose a college with high academic standards in the disciplines that interest you. Southern Connecticut State University offers 40 undergraduate majors and 46 graduate programs, including one of the finest education programs in the nation. Our faculty is 750 strong, and more than 80 percent of our professors have doctoral degrees.

Next, choose a college with a culture and personality that appeal to you. Southern is located in New Haven, Connecticut, a historic, multicultural city of 130,000 that boasts a rich heritage in the performing and visual arts, with theaters, museums, and music venues -- all within easy access of campus. Southern is also a short drive away from the beach and only 80 miles from both the cosmopolitan excitement of New York City and the rural elegance of the Berkshires.

And just as important, choose a college committed to providing the best facilities and equipment for its students and faculty. Southern recently embarked on a $229 million commitment to upgrade the campus during the next decade. Recent improvements include:

• $25 million Michael J. Adanti Student Center
  
• Addition and renovation to Buley Library
  
• Expansion of Engleman Hall (main classroom building)
  
• Jennings Hall renovation (science building)
  
• New parking facilities
  
• West Campus Residence Complex, opened in Fall 2004

When you are ready to make your choice--the first educational choice that is truly your own--Southern is here to help. Contact the Admissions House to set up a tour or informational session any time throughout the year at (203) 392-5644 or (888) 500-SCSU, or register for your tour online.
