University of Vermont
Est. 1791
Based in Burlington, Vermont, the University of Vermont (UVM) is a distinguished institution, dedicated to preparing students to lead productive, responsible, and creative lives. UVM stands for Universitas Viridis Montis – a Latin term meaning "the University of the Green Mountains." The fifth-oldest university in New England, the institution was chartered as a private university, in 1791. Ira Allen, who undertook much of the initial funding and planning for the university, is considered instrumental in the founding of the university. In 1862, the university acquired quasi-public status with the passage of the Morrill Land-Grant College Act and the addition of the State Agricultural College, thereby blending the traditions of both a private and public university. In 1877, it became the first to admit African-Americans to its chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the national honor society. Further, UVM is the first educational institution to admit students regardless of their religion and the first in New England to admit women. Presently, the University of Vermont supports more than 90 majors in its eight undergraduate colleges and schools. It is especially well-known for its programs in Agriculture and Life Sciences. The oldest division of the university is the college of Arts and Sciences, providing a continuum of undergraduate and graduate programs. UVM’s College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences is a constellation of vibrant departments and programs. Accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the College of Medicine strives to train students in every area of medicine and to advance medical knowledge through research. Fletcher Allen Health Care – the largest hospital complex in Vermont – is affiliated with the UVM College of Medicine and has its primary care facility on campus. The College of Nursing and Health Sciences, the Honors College, the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, and the School of Business Administration are the other academic units within the university. In addition, the Division of Continuing Education offers an array of certificates and specialized programs. The 460-acre main campus of the University of Vermont is situated on a scenic hillside overlooking Lake Champlain and Burlington. A strong influence of colonial, Romanesque, and modern architectural styles are prevalent on campus. There are several buildings carrying commemorative plaques to commemorate significant aspects of the institution’s history.
