Student Profile

When we ask students why they chose Champlain College, most say that they were intrigued by our Upside-Down Curriculum, internships in most majors and our exceptionally high job placement rate. They speak highly of Champlain's small classes and personal contact with professors who are devoted teachers. They love our location in Burlington and our amazing residence halls.
