From Champlain College

Founded in 1878, Champlain College is a small, private college overlooking Lake Champlain in charming Burlington, Vermont. Its innovative, career-focused approach to education is nationally recognized for shaping graduates who are ready for work, ready for life, and ready to make a difference.

Champlain students take classes in their major on day one through the Upside-Down Curriculum, allowing them to graduate with more professional experiences-such as internships, jobs, and fieldwork opportunities-and a deeper understanding of their industries. The results: 90% of the Class of 2023 was employed or continuing their education within six months of graduation. 

Champlain's small size and professional opportunities attract relentlessly inquisitive and open-minded individuals who are engaged in their community and fiercely dedicated to building the world they want to live in.
