Rensselaer at Hartford

ensselaer at Hartford is the Hartford, Connecticut branch of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, NY. Until 1997, it was known as the Hartford Graduate Center. The primary focus of the institution is still to offer graduate-level education for working professionals. Around 800-900 students attend the school annually at the Hartford center and at the smaller Groton, Connecticut regional distance learning center.

The main Hartford center has a 15-acre (6.1 ha) landscaped campus readily accessible from both Interstates 84 and 91. The center of the campus contains the main building, the "Tower Building" which contains about 30 classrooms, each seating 10-50 persons.[3]Adjacent to the Tower Building is "Seminar Hall", with additional classrooms and a small auditorium. The school has its own library, the Cole Library, but students can request books from Rensselaer's other libraries on the main campus.[4] The Groton Site is located at the Mystic Executive Park where Rensselaer offers a number of cohort degree programs
