Opening Doors Since 1878

The idea that a college education must provide its graduates with real skills and experience that translate into real value in the marketplace is not new to us.

Originally founded in 1878 as a business school, Champlain College has a long tradition of preparing its graduates to excel in targeted career fields. The continued personal and professional success of our graduates suggests that our distinctive approach is highly effective.

While our education is multifaceted, encompassing professional know-how, plenty of hands-on learning, practical life skill acquisition, global appreciation, and an excellent grounding in liberal arts that builds critical-thinking skills, our philosophy is straightforward: it's your life, and we equip you to live it well.
