Major Dimension
Since Champlain’s founding in 1878, the college has established a solid reputation for professional studies—and extensive networks. The high demand for our graduates testifies to the solid preparation they receive.
How it works
- In Digital Filmmaking, for example, students combine learning ideas and skills, applying that knowledge and engaging in critical discourse about the process. This approach sharpens their analytical powers and problem-solving abilities, whether they go on to produce indie classics or work on Hollywood sound stages. It’s just one example of our engaged learning.
- Champlain’s small classes and group-learning exercises coach you in the valuable skills of coordinating and distributing workloads on projects.
- Speaking from Experience, the Champlain lecture series, puts students front and center with entrepreneurs like Win Smith, who restored Sugarbush Resort to one of Vermont’s premier ski destinations.
- Practitioner faculty, from National Public Radio commentators to teachers, business consultants, and crime scene investigators, bring professional knowledge and experience into the classroom.
- Champlain’s Career Services, selected by Kaplan/Newsweek as a “top pick,” works with students one-on-one to map out individualized job-search strategies or plan for graduate studies.
