Western Connecticut State University

The Ancell School of Business provides a high-quality, personalized learning environment primarily to residents of Western Connecticut and the Tri-State area but embraces students from all states and countries.  We are accessible, affordable, and a school of choice for many who are of the first generation in their families to attend college. Ancell, reflecting its location in Danbury and Fairfield County, has a diverse student body and faculty, affording continual opportunities for cross-cultural experiences. Upon admission to WCSU, undergraduates are free to choose one of six Ancell business majors: Accounting, Cyber-Security, Finance, Management, MIS, and Marketing. The School also offers a general MBA, which can be completed either full-time in a year, or part-time and is normally primarily on-ground. Our MHA program is a part-time online program.

We back our commitment to personalized learning in several ways. Ancell classes are small and have a low student-faculty ratio. Each freshman, transfer, or graduate student is assigned a faculty advisor who meets with them throughout the semester. We foster engagement through the Ancell Commons, which provides free academic support and programs that develop habits for life-long learning. Our location within commuting distance of NYC provides access to unparalleled opportunities for internships and professional positions.
