IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WORLD SINCE 1791.

WE GIVE THE WORLD OUR BEST FOR A BETTER WORLD.

At the University of Vermont you’ll r eceive an education that teaches you to think and work on a global scale. Our mission statement calls on us to “create, evaluate, share, and apply knowledge to prepare students to be accountable leaders who will bring to their work dedication to the global community.”

That’s exactly what we set out to do, daily.

OUR GLOBAL REACH

Study abroad can transform lives and careers. UVM offers opportunities in more than 70 countries—there are options for students of all majors.

Students have global impact with internships at local organizations like Vermont's chapter of the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, the Peace and Justice Center, and Council on World Affairs.

UVM students and alumni are highly successful winning Fulbright and other awards for international teaching, research, and outreach; 105 have been winners or finalists in the past 5 years.

Amnesty International, Engineers Without Borders, Engineering World Health, and MEDVIDA are among UVM student organizations with a global focus.

A World Of Successes Around The World

Our research funding sends students like Alison Chivers to Spain to investigate what genes suppress cancer growth, and Abra Clawson to Nepal to study relationships among identity, place, sound, and religion.

Sasha Fisher, a recent alumna, is putting her self-designed major in human security to work. Her nonprofit, Spark Microgrants, is funding community development projects in African nations. Sasha was chosen as one of twenty Obama Fellows, leaders building better futures around the world.

Students compete internationally and receive travel sponsorship with UVM's Lawrence Debate Union and Grossman School of Business Case Competition Teams.

It’s typical to see a student walking out of their residence hall and straight into our medical center for some hands-on training.

A world-class medical school and teaching hospital right on campus make this kind of experience possible. Students have easy access to teaching methods that are shaping the future of medicine.
