Why Burlington?

Burlington, Vermont has most of what a “big” city offers – fine dining, a vibrant night life, outstanding concert venues - but it all exists within a quintessentially New England small-town package.  The same is true for professional opportunities in communication and creative media.  While many CCM graduates end up working outside of Vermont, most are surprised to find a dynamic professional community of design firms, regional and national corporate headquarters, culture and arts organizations, media outlets, internet and software companies, alternative energy developers, non-profit organizations, retailers, higher education providers, manufacturers, health care providers, and service organizations.
