The college is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education and enrolled 3,302 students in fall 2016.

The college made a significant step in helping the redevelopment in downtown Hartford by opening up a new campus at the former G. Fox & Co. department store on Main Street in the heart of downtown.

The 1,913,000-square-foot (177,700 m2) building served as the home of the department store until it closed in 1993.

The entire building was renovated and in 2002 the college moved into the building as well as numerous state and city offices and numerous retail clients on the ground level.

Before opening up in downtown Hartford the college had two campuses in the city, one on Woodland Street and another on Flatbush Avenue.
