There are 14 colleges and universities in the
U.S. state
of
Vermont
. These include one
research university
, five
master's universities
, an
art school
, a
law school
, and a number of associate's and
baccalaureate colleges
. One institution chartered in another state also offers degree programs at a location in Vermont.
The state's flagship public university is the
University of Vermont
.
[1]
The other two public institutions are organized as the
Vermont State Colleges
system, of which
Vermont State University
and the
Community College of Vermont
are the two constituent parts.
The title of oldest post-secondary institution in Vermont is shared by two institutions. The
University of Vermont
was chartered in 1791 but did not begin instruction until 1800 or grant a degree until 1804.
Middlebury College
was chartered in 1800 and is Vermont's oldest operating college and the first to grant an academic degree in 1802. Vermont's newest college not formed from existing institutions is
Landmark College
, founded in 1984 to serve students with
learning disabilities
.
The state's colleges range in size from the University of Vermont, with 13,348 students, to
Sterling College
is a
private
work college
with 112 students as of Fall 2022.
All fourteen institutions are
accredited
by the
New England Commission of Higher Education
.
