Mission  
School mission Students at the University of Vermont benefit from a unique setting that combines the resources of a major research university with the intimate feeling of a liberal arts college. Renowned professors, rather than graduate assistants, are students' teachers and advisors, and many students assist their professors with their research projects. The nation's premier environmental university, UVM is located in Burlington, a small city regularly hailed as a top college town, surrounded by the mountains and lakes of the Vermont countryside. The university is noted for its exceptional academic programs and top-rated faculty; its newly established honors college; its hands-on teaching; its engaged student body; and its quality of life.
