Some of the brightest, most innovative students will be your classmates and friends. The resources, partnerships, and network of a major research university will be yours to tap daily; so will Lake Champlain, the Green Mountains, and the beauty and bustle of Burlington.

THE UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT
In the next few years, your life will look a lot different than it does now, and that’s the best news ever.
UVM is in a city—but we have a big backyard.
WHY UVM, WHY NOT UVT? It comes from our Latin name U niversitas V iridis M ontis , "University of the Green Mountains."
THE UNIVERSITY OF

ALL THINGS HAVE A PLACE IN OUR
Academic Ecosystem
THE CAMPUS Home to 11,326 undergraduates from 48 states and 37 countries; 1,660 graduate students; 483 medical students; and 1,768 faculty. UVM has innovative labs, a historic green with tall trees, something interesting happening in every corner—what college should look like. THE CLASSROOM 40% of our classes have fewer than 20 students; that means more face-time with your professors. THE CITY OF BURLINGTON

is ranked one of "America's Best College Towns" for its food, arts, music, innovation, and recreation. THE MOUNTAINS Stowe, Sugarbush, Smugglers' Notch, and Bolton are just an hour from campus; the Adirondacks beckon to the west; plus, you might hike Mount Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak, during TREK, our first-year team-building experience. THE LAKE Lake Champlain is one of our most useful—and beautiful—classrooms.

Answering the world’s questions gets us up in the morning.
At UVM, there’s always an opportunity to do groundbreaking research that helps humankind. Just ask biology major Doran Forahar, who wanted experience with biomedical research. He found the perfect opportunity in the UVM Larner College of Medicine's Anesthesiology Department, investigating the effects of major surgical stress on the developing brain. His work introduced him to the microtome—a tool that delicately slices tissue just 7-micrometers thin. Every day opens up new discoveries, and new questions.
40 perc ent of UVM seniors report they have engaged in faculty-mentored research.

STUDENT S ARE THE HEART OF OUR HEART.
Community is priority at UVM. It’s common to see students of all backgrounds enjoying Shabbat dinner at Hillel or a Comida Para la Gente feast with Alianza Latinx, attending the Black Student Union's fashion show or gearing up for adventure with the UVM Outing Club. We aspire to be a community that values Respect, Integrity, Innovation, Openness, Justice, and Responsibility. This is Our Common Ground.

The future of robots is humans.
“ASK ME ANYTHING.”
That’s what Josh Bongard, Professor of Computer Science, said on Reddit during a Science AMA (Ask Me Anything) session. He answered questions about his team’s research on how people and computers together can create complex technology like robots. At UVM, you’ll have access to experts like Professor Bongard all the time—he teaches an undergraduate course on human-computer interaction.
Reddit asked: What could it mean for our future?
JB : I think that the willingness of people to participate and collaborate in online games and research efforts bodes well for the future of education. Many fear that technology in general—and AI, and robotics in particular— will marginalize most of humanity. Personally, I believe that this will not be the case.

Some of our labs don’t appear on a campus map.
The world is our classroom, after all. A great example of this is Marcelle Melosira, our research vessel on Lake Champlain, the nation's largest body of freshwater after the Great Lakes—just a mile from campus.
During a class, students might examine tiny silver trout with their bare hands. Their research contributes to larger studies on replenishing the trout population. After recording findings, they can take in Lake Champlain views. It’s learning at its most scenic, while maintaining the health of an international body of water.

It’s in our nature.
SUSTAINABILITY. For some, it’s little more than a buzzword. At UVM, it’s an ethic core to our character, rooted in Vermont’s tradition of environmentalism, progressive thought, and action. Through education, research, and practice we advance knowledge and application of approaches critical to the health of people and planet. As a student at UVM, principles of sustainability come to life in the courses you take, the buildings where you live and learn, and the commitment you find in our faculty, students, and local community.
WE MEAN GREEN:
#2 Green MBA in the United States, Princeton Review
49% of campus waste is recycled
25% locally resourced food in campus dining halls
Gold-Level Bike Friendly University, League of American Bicyclists
A "Top 20" Green School in the United States, Princeton Review
IN OUR RESEARCH
Melting ice sheets on Greenland, farms across the Northeast, urban planning projects, and new energy development are some of the areas where you’ll find faculty leading research— assisted by undergrads— to unravel sustainability challenges and shape viable solutions, for the world.
THE UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT
IN OUR PRACTICE
Locally sourced materials— from the slate roof to the maple interior trim—are found throughout the Davis Student Center. Next door, the Aiken Center boasts a green roof, both a teaching resource and a best practice. They are two of fourteen buildings on campus that are LEED-certified, denoting environmentally responsible building practices.
IN OUR CURRICULUM
Yes, our Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, cross-disciplinary Environmental Program, and Gund Institute for Environment are international leaders. But at UVM, sustainability also leaps academic boundaries. Seventy-five percent of UVM departments offer sustainabilityrelated courses, and 100 percent of our undergraduates take at least one sustainability course through our Catamount Core curriculum.
IN OUR ACTIVISM
UVM student voices are strong. Creating and enhancing campus waste recycling programs, ending the sale of bottled water on campus, and divesting from fossil fuel investments are just a few of the sustainability issues where student activism has been pivotal in pushing the university to a higher standard.
There’s an Art and a Science to Humanity.
The school with the largest number of students, faculty, and staff, our College of Arts and Sciences offers a way to combine multiple disciplines with creativity, critical thought, and hands-on experience.
COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES THE UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT
Forty percent of UVM seniors report doing research with a faculty mentor. Our Fellowships, Opportunities & Undergraduate Research office helps students define research interests, connect with inspiring faculty experts, and secure grants to support and their work and share it with others around the world.
UVM's Fleming Museum gives students hands-on experience with collections that span the history of civilization. Students in a Museum Anthropology class put their skills to work in the role of curator, selecting art and objects around a central theme—evocative subjects like "food," "home," and "gender."
Students in UVM's Vermont Legislative Research Service program provide nonpartisan support to Vermont state legislators. They research questions around health, education, and other issues and provide information that helps shape laws enacted in the state capitol.
