Major choice
UVM offers an array of majors and minors — more than 90 in all. With a faculty that's among the tops in the country, we've got quality to match our quantity. If you like options, this is the place for you.
Grads going places
A recent Wall Street Journal survey ranked UVM a top public university for placing grads in the best medical, law and MBA programs. Alums get good jobs, too. 84% were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with their positions a year after graduation.
A groundbreaking campus
UVM is in the middle of a half billion dollar building program that's bringing dynamic new facilities to campus — like an innovative new student center and two residence halls. Next up: a state-of-the-art science building.
Top professors who are passionate about teaching
UVM faculty are frequently renowned researchers, but they also love to teach. Few classes here — even in the first year — are taught by graduate students. UVM faculty are known for being accessible outside class, too, helping students grow as scholars — and people.
An Honors College that raises the bar for all
Our Honors College accepts some of the most talented students in the country and inspires them with rigorous coursework. But all UVM students take advantage of the college's special speakers, events, programming and services — and the culture of academic engagement they promote.
We celebrate difference
At UVM, we know that diversity and academic excellence go hand-in-hand. Nearly 20 campus clubs/groups serve and promote diversity on campus: Gender, religious, ethnic and cultural organizations bring a wide variety of speakers and events to campus.
UVM students are at home anywhere on the globe
UVM students study in over 60 foreign countries through opportunities including study abroad programs; exchange programs with universities in Germany, Australia, Russia, Japan; and faculty-led experiences like glacial mountaineering, theater studies in London and more.
Burlington, Vermont: The nation's smallest big city
Not every university can say they're located in Burlington, Vermont, one of the top rated college towns in the country. UVM students rave about living in such a vibrant small city. And for a larger metro fix, Montreal is only 90 minutes away.
We really are hot
In the last five years, applications to UVM have more than tripled — with applicants on the rise from every state in the country. Not surprisingly, Kaplan/Newsweek recently called us one of the 25 hottest schools in the U.S.
We know how to have fun
UVM students are friendly, social and involved. With more than 100 campus organizations and a constant stream of comedians, musicians, artists and speakers coming to campus and Burlington, there's a huge amount to do every day.
Beauty to match our brains
UVM has one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. Tucked between the Green Mountain to the east and Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks to the west, our surroundings aren't too shabby either.
Let us guide you.
