The University of Vermont’s hilltop campus looks out across one of America’s most vibrant small cities to Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains beyond. 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 is a 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. With a commitment to undergraduate education, UVM professors — world-class researchers, scholars, and artists — bring their discoveries into the classroom and their students into the field.
You’ll find UVM students across all levels of education studying the effects of climate change aboard the Melosira, a research vessel and floating lab; testing new vaccines at the on-campus medical center; launching local start-ups; and working with refugees at Burlington community centers.
The fifth oldest university in New England, UVM boasts a legacy of important firsts in education: the first college to declare public support of freedom of religion and the first to admit women and African-Americans to Phi Beta Kappa. Today, the university continues to provide students endless ways to explore the world, challenge ideas, and dig in on the most pressing issues of our time.
佛蒙特大学的校园坐落在山顶，俯瞰着美国最具活力的小城之一，远处是尚普兰湖和阿迪朗达克山脉。在这里，学生们从伯灵顿的活力与创新，到佛蒙特州的森林、农场和独立精神，我们的地理位置丰富了他们的学习经验值和活动体验。UVM是一所规模恰到好处的研究型大学，大到能提供广泛的思想、资源和机会，又小到足以实现师生间紧密的指导关系。作为一所致力于本科教育的学府，UVM的教授们——世界级的研究者、学者和艺术家——将他们的发现带入课堂，并带领学生深入实践领域。佛蒙特大学的学生们活跃在各个教育领域：在梅洛西拉号研究船兼浮动实验室研究气候变化影响；在校内医疗中心测试新疫苗；创立本地初创企业；以及在伯灵顿社区中心为难民提供帮助。作为新英格兰地区历史第五悠久的大学，佛蒙特大学在教育领域开创了多项重要先河：第一所公开支持宗教自由的学院，也是第一所接纳女性和非裔美国人加入Phi Beta Kappa荣誉学会的高校。如今，这所大学依然为学生提供无数探索世界、挑战思想、深入研究当今时代最紧迫问题的途径。
