In 1965 the General Assembly transferred control of the then-colleges to an independent Board of Trustees. In 1983, the four institutions were converted into universities, together constituting the Connecticut State University System. The universities are governed by the Connecticut Board of Regents for Higher Education, established in 2011 to license and accredit the institutions and their programs, approve budgets, support planning, and coordinate technology operations.

Ninety-three percent of students are in-state residents and 86% of system graduates reside in Connecticut after graduation.
