Mission Statement:
Vermont College has a distinguished history and reputation – and is a leader in progressive education with an eye toward the 21st century.  Acquired in 2001 by Union Institute & University, Vermont College united with an organization that had a similar mission and model, and a shared history.  Vermont College's low residency programs enroll learners across the country.  When you come to Vermont College, you find a school that values and respects your previous education and experiences.  You also find like-minded students from every background and walk of life who are excited about beginning or continuing their education.  And because we cater to busy adults, we understand the demands of family and jobs.  In fact, most of our students engage in studies that have immediate application in their work or personal lives.  Our students appreciate the individualized learning they encounter here; every degree program is carefully designed by both student and faculty to meet the particular needs and goals of the student.  Residencies provide an exciting opportunity to mix with other students and faculty, to discuss and debate, but each student works one-to-one with an individual mentor.  Faculty mentors are highly educated, and have a lifelong dedication to helping students design and pursue learning that has purpose and meaning in their lives.  The programs at Vermont College, based on the philosophy of progressive American educator John Dewey, are innovative and constantly adapting to the changing needs of our changing world.  Our residencies and one-to-one mentoring have their roots in Oxford and other European universities.  We emphasize interdisciplinary, multicultural studies in the humanities and social sciences through a powerful integration of theory and practical application.  Most importantly, graduates of our programs talk about the way their studies at Vermont College have transformed their lives.  And they take pride in a degree that is respected in both academic and professional circles.
