About Eastern Connecticut State University

Eastern Connecticut State University was founded in 1889 as the Willimantic Normal School. The name was changed to Willimantic State College in 1959, Eastern Connecticut State College in 1966, and Eastern Connecticut State University in 1983. In 1998, the Board of Trustees for the Connecticut State University System approved changing Eastern’s mission to be a public liberal arts institution and the University joined the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges in 2004. 

While Eastern’s definition of what it means to be a public liberal arts institution will continue to evolve, that identity has become fully accepted both within the university community and throughout the state and region. As the mission statement notes, Eastern Connecticut State University engages students from diverse backgrounds in a transformative, liberal arts learning experience that provides knowledge and skills to lead enriching, purposeful lives. 

Eastern makes its home in historic Willimantic in the rural northeast region of the state. Former home to the American Thread Company, at one time the largest thread manufacturer in the world, today's Willimantic features cultural diversity, unique community events, Victorian homes and other interesting sights and sounds. Eastern is surrounded by the wooded hills and pastures of Connecticut's "Quiet Corner," a piece of rural New England full of traditions and natural beauty. At the same time, Eastern is a day trip away from Vermont's ski slopes, Cape Cod's beaches, and both New York City and Boston.
