Four years, one throughline: work
Every Junction program is built around paid, real-world experience. You don't wait until senior year to touch the field — you start in year one and build toward a capstone an employer actually uses.
Try the field
Studio and lab courses, a site visit series, and a first micro-credential. Figure out what fits.
Get good at the tools
Core technical courses, portfolio projects, and an industry certification in your field.
Paid, real work
A full co-op term with a partner employer — with credit, a mentor, and pay.
Ship something real
A capstone sponsored by an employer or community partner, presented at Demo Day.
Structure is illustrative and varies by program and enrollment status. Co-op participation and pay are not guaranteed.
Estimate your cost
This is a rough demonstration estimate from illustrative figures — not a bill, an offer, or a guarantee. For a real number, use the institution's official Net Price Calculator and file the FAFSA. Aid varies by individual circumstances.
Built with employers, for outcomes
Junction was founded to connect Hartford's students with Hartford's economy. Employers sit on program advisory boards, sponsor capstones, and hire from our co-op pipeline. Career support isn't a senior-year office visit — it's woven through all four years.
Partners and services are demonstration content. No employment or salary outcome is implied or guaranteed.
Admissions, built for real lives
The city is the campus
Junction isn't behind a gate — it's woven into downtown Hartford across three connected centers, each a short walk or bus ride apart. Labs sit next to the employers that use them; a design studio shares a block with the firms that hire from it.
Most students commute, and the schedule respects that: courses run mornings, evenings, and online, and every center is on a transit line. The city isn't the backdrop to your education — it's part of the curriculum.
