Economic Impact Study Fall 2004

Three Rivers Community College is a multi-campus commuter college that serves Southeastern Connecticut and eastern regions of the state with a variety of credit and non-credit degree and certificate programs designed to meet the dynamic needs of our learning community.

Three Rivers Community College was formed in 1992 as a result of a mandate enacted by the Connecticut General Assembly which merged community and technical colleges in five geographic areas around Connecticut. Named in recognition of the region's three primary rivers– the Shetucket, the Yantic and the Thames, Three Rivers Community College was formed from the merger of Mohegan Community College and Thames Valley State Technical College, both located in Norwich.

College History

Currently, the college is still housed on both campuses. The college also has two off-campus instructional centers located at the Naval Submarine Base in Groton and Ella Grasso Technical School in Groton, CT.

Our student population of over 3,600 enrolled students and 2,600 Continuing Education students continues to grow. Through the integration of technical, career, and liberal arts programs within the college, Three Rivers' students are able to move with greater ease from one program to another.

In 2003, the Connecticut State Legislature formally announced and approved $75 million for the renovation and consolidation of Three Rivers Community College at the Thames Valley campus. The college will undergo major changes over the next few years that will serve to better fulfill its mission of providing affordable and accessible educational opportunities that meet the diverse educational needs of our community.
