Since 1791, the University of Vermont has worked to move humankind forward. Today, UVM is a Public Ivy and top 100 research university of a perfect size, large enough to offer a breadth of ideas, resources, and opportunities, yet small enough to enable close faculty-student mentorship across all levels, from bachelor's to M.D. programs, in nearly every field of study. Here, students' educational experience and activities are enriched by our location — from the energy and innovation of Burlington to the forests, farms, and independent spirit of Vermont. UVM provides students endless ways to explore the world, challenge ideas, and dig in on the most pressing issues of our time.

From The School
UVM students are known for being active in service and in sports and as social progress and environmental health defenders. They are national and international contenders in competitions ranging from debate to skiing to alternative race car design. There are countless ways for UVM students to get involved on campus, in the Burlington community, beyond borders – and they do.
Catamount pride swells for the university's 18 Division I sports programs. Enthusiastic crowds come out for soccer, hockey, and basketball games. Many of UVM's 50+ club sports also compete nationally and bring home trophies.
All first-year students live in residential learning communities, where they engage in learning and projects with others who share their particular interests in areas spanning art and creativity, wellness, leadership, outdoor experience, innovation and entrepreneurship, and global citizenry.

Location
Students reap educational as well as recreational rewards from our location in Burlington, a city lauded for business innovation, arts, food and outdoor recreation. It's any easy walk from campus to downtown restaurants, coffee spots, retail shops, music and other arts venues. A short stroll from the city center leads to Waterfront Park, a skate park, sailing center, and 10-mile bike path along Lake Champlain with panoramic views of the Adirondack Mountains. Some of the best skiing/riding, hiking, biking and paddling trails in the Northeast are less than an hour's drive from campus. Burlington itself is easily reached by car, bus, or plane from several major cities; Burlington International Airport (BTV) is 3 miles from campus.
Campus Facilities & Equipment
The UVM Campus has undergone transformation in the last few years with completion of several major building projects: Discovery Hall, phase I of a new STEM center; Ifshin Hall, expanding the Grossman School of Business; the Michele and Martin Cohen Hall for the Integrative Creative Arts; a new residence hall for 695 first-year students connected to the main library with several dining options, including a teaching kitchen.
Off-Campus Opportunities
Area businesses and agencies offer internships and job experience in fields ranging from food science to finance, snowboard manufacturing to biotech. The Vermont landscape is a vast laboratory for geology, biology, and natural sciences. Vermont's conscientious communities and government also offer exceptional opportunities for research and involvement.
