Description
About Green Mountain College
Founded in 1834 by the Troy Conference of the Methodist Church, Green Mountain College is a coeducational, private college, accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. As an environmental liberal arts college, Green Mountain offers students a special opportunity to integrate modern environmental thought into a traditional liberal arts or pre-professional course of study, regardless of major. Undergraduate students may earn a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in one of the College’s 25 majors and academic programs. The College offers two distance Master's degrees: An M.B.A. in sustainable business and a Master of Science in Environmental Studies.
Vermont’s famously beautiful countryside provides the perfect backdrop for a college centered around the environment. Located in the historic town of Poultney, Vermont, the college is a rural campus positioned for convenient access to numerous metropolitan areas. Excellent interstate highways and public transportation connect the campus with New York City, Boston, and Montreal. Amtrak train service is eight miles from the College. Several major ski resorts–Okemo, Killington, Pico, Bromley, and Stratton Mountain–are within an easy drive of the campus.
At the heart of the College’s environmental mission is the 37-credit Environmental Liberal Arts General Education Program, which all GMC students complete. ELA combines the skills and content of a strong liberal arts course of study with a focus on the environment. This program is rooted in the idea that a thorough understanding of natural and social environments, and our relationships with them, coupled with the skills, knowledge, and courage necessary to act as responsible citizens in a globally interdependent world, are central to the development of a person’s intellect and character. The core theme of the environment, in both a local and global sense, is thus imbedded in and defines the philosophy of a liberal arts education at the College.
