Castleton State College

Academics

Students can pursue a major from more than 35 programs. Castleton is committed to providing an undergraduate education in which career preparation and the liberal arts complement each other. Through an innovative program called Soundings, freshmen earn academic credit by attending a series of special events, which include theater, music, dance, film, debate, and opinion from influential people. New students also participate in the First Year Seminar, giving them the opportunity to develop the skills of a successful college student.

Over two hundred computers on campus are available for student use. The Fine Arts Center includes a 500-seat theater, an art gallery, TV studio, and dance and art studios. The athletic facilities include two gymnasiums, a six-lane pool, racquetball courts, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and coming soon, a stadium and turf fields.
