A small college with a big heart—and bigger vision!
Champlain College has been building better futures for students for nearly 150 years. Established during the era of steam engines, Champlain has continually innovated to meet the needs of its community. Today, Champlain is a leader in career-focused learning, offering nationally recognized, campus-based programs in cybersecurity, game production, filmmaking, and business and more. We also offer more than 60 online degrees.
Now we’re embarking on the most ambitious capital campaign in our history, powered by a different kind of STEAM—the science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics fields that will prepare students for better futures in the 21st century and beyond.

Priority 1:
Ready for INNOVATION
Building better futures with high-opportunity programs in STEAM and entrepreneurship
In recent years, Champlain has made bold investments in groundbreaking academic programs that set the standard for career-focused higher education.
Champlain’s next frontier: leverage these strengths to put the Champlain stamp on interdisciplinary science programs in bioinformatics, molecular biology, and digital health—emphasizing the bio-life sciences critical for tomorrow’s high-tech industries.
Priority 2:
Ready for OPPORTUNITY
Powering an economic engine for Vermont—and beyond
From an innovation hub on the Burlington waterfront to flexible, career-centered educational experiences, we’re doubling down on our commitment to be an engine of economic opportunity in Vermont.
At Champlain, we believe in partnering with industry and government leaders to develop talent pipelines that local and regional companies need to thrive.
Priority 3:
Ready for COMMUNITY
Helping Champlain’s students, faculty, and staff thrive
We invest in our community—the students, faculty, and staff who help Champlain live its motto: Let Us Dare.
Everything Champlain does—including its innovative academic programs and its ability to fuel economic opportunity throughout the region—depends on the people who make this College a great place to live, work, and learn.
