We believe in the potential of every individual and embrace diversity in all its forms. This fosters excellence and personal responsibility in each member of our community. As students, your differences can be the starting place for growth, learning, and a deeper understanding of each other. Our programs will prepare you to look beyond boundaries, engage your communities, and excel in your chosen profession.

Our ideal location will encourage and inspire you. You’ll be immersed in programs that allow you to get first-hand experience and a strong liberal arts foundation, while you gain the skills to excel in the modern world. You’ll work with engaged professors, collaborate with your peers, and experience coursework that supports you to become a thinker, problem solver, visionary, and leader. Outside of the classroom, you can get in involved in on-campus sports and clubs, off-campus internships, field opportunities, and volunteer service, all while surrounded by the beautiful backdrop of mountains and wilderness.

Southern Vermont College encourages a student body that is engaged in social and environmental responsibility. You can expect intentional conversations discussing what it means to promote responsible living and what actions can be taken. The college strives to implement these values throughout the campus, offering sustainably-sourced food (and coffee!) in the dining hall and encouraging students to engage and give back to the local communities.
