The 2007 edition of the "Fiske Guide to Getting Into the Right College" highlights Champlain College among nine colleges to have "the most innovative curriculums."

The authors write:

"A cozy New England college that offers practical career training with a personal touch. Champlain's ‘upside-down' curriculum allows students to take in-depth courses in their majors from day one. Upperclassmen have more time for internships, which are offered in virtually all majors."

Co-author Edward B. Fiske served for 17 years as education editor of the New York Times. Co-author Bruce G. Hammond has devoted much of his time to counseling for college and is director of college counseling at Sandia Preparatory School.
