Champlain College is a matter of degrees. We’re hot—with majors tailored for the most relevant workplace needs. We’re cool—Burlington is consistently ranked as one of America’s best college towns. There’s so much to do at Champlain and in Burlington year-round that whatever the temperature, you’ll have a choice of passions to pursue.

20,000 STUDENTS STRONGThere are unlimited opportunities to meet students at the other three colleges in the Burlington area, where students number about 20,000. You’re not alone!

It may be impossible to find a student at Champlain who doesn’t love Burlington, Vermont’s biggest city. Some students choose to work and live in Burlington after graduation because they don’t want to leave. And what’s not to love? Our campus offers spectacular views of Lake Champlain, which anchors downtown, just a few blocks from the College. You’ll relish the shopping and dining options downtown at the pedestrian-friendly Church Street marketplace. There’s no end to live entertainment and outdoor recreation.

And you don’t have to leave campus to find fun. Champlain hosts a variety of activities all year and sponsors outings and clubs to suit many different interests.

Student life at Champlain College is the ultimate.

Why transfer to Champlain?Champlain gives you the tools to be an original, to be creative, to probe. We’re committed to teaching you the skills you need to launch your career and excel at your passion. You’ll graduate ready for real life. When you’re successful, we’re successful.
