The ConnCAP Program

The ConnCAP Program is a collaborative partnership among Southern Connecticut State University, Connecticut Department of Higher Education, and New Haven Public Schools. This partnership has been in existence since September of 1997.  Our goal is to engage students in a meaningful learning experience for the purpose of enhancing their basic skills, critical thinking, and social competencies. More importantly, ConnCAP exposes participating students to the college experience.

ConnCAP is geared toward improving the student's chances of competing in an advanced society by offering enrichment classes in the areas of math, science, history, visual arts, and English. Students enrolled in the program spend summers attending classes for six weeks, an after-school tutorial program, and a Saturday Academy.
