The University Established in 1791, the University of Vermont is considered a public-ivy and consistently ranked as one of the top public universities in the United States. Our academic programs combine faculty-student relationships most commonly found in a small liberal arts college with the resources of a land-grant research institution. UVM’s tradition of equity and social justice extends not only to faculty, staff, and students, but also is reflected in a commitment to environmentally sound and sustainable practices. The College In the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), students experience the connectedness and accessibility of a small liberal arts college within a high caliber public research institution. Whether students are pursuing the Fine Arts, the Humanities, Natural Science and Mathematics or Social Sciences, they have a place here, in the College of Arts and Sciences’ academic ecosystem. The College of Arts and Sciences highly values the excellence that results when people from different backgrounds and perspectives work, interact, and learn together. In this way, commitment to diversity fosters our educational mission. For our students, it prepares them for life and work ahead: it recognizes that we are a culturally, ethnically, and racially diverse nation, one that is also situated in an increasingly global environment. For our faculty, scholarship and research are increasingly cooperative activities-often crossing national borders-requiring the abilities and skills to work with others often from very different backgrounds. For both our students and faculty, diversity enhances our curriculum, enriches the classroom experience, and fosters the exchange of ideas. As our society, economy, politics, and global interactions become increasingly diverse, so too must our intellectual community of students, faculty, and staff. The School Formed in 2023, UVM’s School of World Languages and Cultures offers instruction in ten languages plus Linguistics, grouped in six programs. The School of World Languages and Cultures (SWLC) prepares students to engage with a diverse, globalizing, and ever-changing world. Students learn to speak and understand foreign languages, study how languages are learned, and (if desired) explore how to teach language to non-native speakers. Students also become knowledgeable about and sensitive to cultural differences through exposure to the perspectives of people who speak other languages, enabling them to reflect critically on your own cultural practices. Research by faculty in the School focuses on language, literature, cultural studies, and linguistics to show how language is intertwined with all facets of life. The Community UVM is located in Burlington, Vermont, which is rated as one of the best small cities in the country.
