Parents of Prospective Students
 
 

Parents of high school students who are embarking on the college search often want answers to different questions than their son or daughter. We have grouped links at the bottom of this page that directly address parent concerns. Feel free to contact the Admissions Office at admission@champlain.edu if you have additional questions.

Unique Curriculum Format

Champlain offers a unique curriculum format, one we call "Plus Two" or the "Upside Down Curriculum." Students in their first two years at Champlain concentrate on courses in their major area of interest, rather than fulfilling distribution requirements in academic disciplines that might not be of interest. This means our entering students are focused and involved in coursework that is relevant to their interests and plans. Third and fourth year courses continue professional preparation but integrate a coordinated liberal arts core. Throughout the curriculum there is an emphasis on technology.

Take a look at the Admissions Travel Schedule for the time and place nearest you that we will be visiting so that you can meet someone from Champlain in person.

Champlain is located in the historic and beautiful Hill Section of Burlington, Vermont -- one of the safest cities in one of the safest states in the country. Burlington is a vibrant small city and offers a wide range of community activities, restaurants, cultural events, music venues, shops and coffee houses. The proximity to rural Vermont, and the Green Mountains, Adirondack Mountains and Lake Champlain, allows for almost any outdoor activity one could imagine. The combination of Burlington and Vermont makes this one of the most sought after college destinations in the country. Uniformed security personnel patrol the campus 24 hours a day. Though virtually crime-free, Champlain College goes the extra mile with special safety workshops, safety lighting, locked dorms and dorm rooms, emergency call boxes, watchful adult Head Residents, and electronic fire alarm systems.
