PARTNERS IN EDUCATION

CCM understands how meaningful earning your degree can be and how important your education is not only to your current position, but also to your future career path. That's why we’ve teamed up with three universities to help you achieve your education goals. We are proud to announce three tuition discounts through our “Partners in Education” program. Through this program, CCM member municipalities (including all employees, elected and appointed officials, and board/commission members) will receive a tuition discount.

Post University

Post University will offer a 20% tuition discount to CCM members employees taking undergraduate and graduate courses. This offer is extended to immediate family members and includes spouses and children. This includes our online accelerated degree program courses or enrolling at Post University’s traditional, four-year main campus in Waterbury, Connecticut.

Sacred Heart University
