Academics

At Green Mountain College, we believe that a liberal arts education ought to respond to the most pressing problems of the times. The effects of a globalizing economy, rapid population growth, changing land use patterns and surging technological development are transforming almost every profession and creating complex social, economic and ecological problems.

Today's graduates need to be flexible and creative problem solvers. They need a sophisticated understanding of how systems work together. They need to be comfortable synthesizing ideas.

They also need the skills traditional liberal arts programs have always instilled in students: The ability to think critically, write and speak effectively, reason through problems and embrace learning as a life-long endeavor.

Students at Green Mountain College graduate with all of this and more, thanks to a unique academic program, an intimate learning environment and opportunities to weave classroom lessons into the wider world.
