Per-1,000-student rates let small and large campuses be compared fairly, but a handful of reports at a small school can still produce a high rate. Read alongside enrollment.

Connecticut reports Clery Act campus safety data across 49 higher education institutions distributed across 29 cities , serving approximately 200,567 enrolled students combined. The statewide average safety score stands at 1.85 on-campus incidents per 1,000 enrolled students, placing Connecticut at national rank #20 among US states for campus safety outcomes. The median institution in Connecticut reports 0.00 incidents per 1,000 students, while 28 campuses reported zero on-campus incidents during the survey window.

The largest institution by enrollment is Connecticut State Community College with 34,991 students and a safety score of 0.26. Raw incident counts across institutions in this state must be interpreted alongside enrollment size, a large urban research university and a small rural liberal arts college produce very different absolute numbers for identical underlying risk.

Every institution listed below participates in federal financial aid programs and is therefore legally required under the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act to publish annual on-campus crime statistics. The data is collected by the US Department of Education via the OPE Campus Safety and Security Survey. Rankings shown on this page reflect incident rates per 1,000 enrolled students, so smaller schools with a handful of reports can score worse than large universities with dozens of reports. Use the table below to compare campuses with similar enrollment profiles before drawing conclusions about relative safety.
