Champlain is a small private college located in the thriving college town of Burlington, Vermont. Nationally recognized for its innovative approach to experiential learning, Champlain is the ideal college for dreamers, go-getters, and anyone who learns by doing. Champlain students gain so much experience and industry know-how through their studies, they're often hired in their senior year—and sometimes even earlier. When they're ready to launch their careers, they hit the ground running.
- Champlain's unique Upside-Down Curriculum puts students in major-specific classes right away, which gives them the education they want and prepares them for serious internships, field experience, and even freelance projects, as early as their first year. If students are still figuring out what they'd like to study, they can explore a variety of majors to see what's the best fit for them.
- Champlain's multidimensional approach combines professionally focused majors in some of today's hottest career fields with a liberal arts Core curriculum that helps students explore their passions and beliefs and prepares them for a lifetime of curiosity and responsible civic engagement.
- The InSight program, integrated throughout the academic experience, gives students the personal finance and career-planning knowledge they'll need to lead satisfying and successful lives both during and after college.
Home to Ben & Jerry's and Burton Snowboards, Burlington is one of the most environmentally progressive cities in the nation. It's also a vacation-worthy college town with a small-town charm and a big-city vibe, letting students live the best of both worlds. The backdrop to it all? Spectacularly beautiful Lake Champlain and mountains in every direction.
Champlain has additional campuses in Montreal, Canada, and Dublin, Ireland, plus a mission and curriculum that encourage international study. A majority of Champlain students study abroad, and many also intern while they're there.
