University of Vermont

Curriculum

Each of our seven undergraduate colleges and schools establish separate curriculum guidelines and graduation requirements. In nearly all of our programs, the curriculum is designed to encourage free and open exploration. During the first two years, general and distribution requirements offer you the chance to experiment in several disciplines and discover ideas and knowledge you’ve never before encountered. Because we encourage studying across colleges and schools at UVM, you can take advantage of a vast array of academic disciplines, some far from your intended field of study. This breadth of study develops a wide range of skills and gives you the opportunity to expand your career horizons.
