About Champlain

An educational pioneer since 1878, Champlain is a college where students and faculty don’t just respond to opportunities—they create them. We’ve introduced new fields of study, like Game Design and Computer & Digital Forensics, and offer majors with a specific focus, like Business Management, Digital Filmmaking and Public Relations. Champlain’s three-dimensional education—another pioneering concept—integrates relevant, professionally focused studies with a rigorous Core curriculum and practical Life Skills program.

All this innovation thrives in our can-do culture, where people with diverse talents pool their skills in enterprising ways. Here students help each other launch new businesses, students and faculty collaborate on research and service, and the college creates partnerships with the community. Our city, Burlington, is the ultimate college town with a hip vibe, a thriving music scene and great food, from Doughboys doughnuts to Bove’s family-recipe Italian. It’s as original, forward-looking and down-to-earth as Champlain College, and a place it’s easy to call home.
