Charter Oak State College

Charter Oak State College was founded in 1973 by the Connecticut Legislature to provide an alternative way for working students to earn associate and bachelor degrees.

Charter Oak offers associate and bachelor degrees with a variety of concentrations. The College has no residency requirements. This means that a degree can be earned from approved credits from other colleges and universities, portfolio assessment, examination programs such as CLEP, DSST, ECE and GRE subject exams.  

The College is approved by the Connecticut Board of Governors for Higher Education and regionally accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and functions under the degree-granting authority of Connecticut's Board for State Academic Awards.
