Private College in Burlington, VT

Burlington College:
Burlington College, located in Burlington, Vermont, is an independent, progressive, liberal arts college offering two-year Associate and four-year Bachelor of Arts degree programs, as well as several professional certificate programs. The respect students experience in the classroom is reflected in the College’s non-graded evaluation system.

At the onset of each course or other learning activity, student and instructor negotiate a learning contract that sets expectations as well as specific learning goals. And at the end of the semester, both student and instructor provide written evaluations of progress made toward these central goals. The evaluation period becomes, then, not a harried time of cramming for exams or scrambling for a grade, but a time for reflection on what one has learned.

Burlington College is located in Burlington, Vermont, a city rated one of the ‘most livable cities’ in the United States and rich in cultural and professional resources. Panoramic views of Lake Champlain to the west and the south provide magnificent open vistas from the modest campus.
