About University of Vermont
The primary purpose of the University of Vermont (UVM) is to create and share knowledge. UVM prepares its students to live productive, responsible, and creative lives through a high-quality, liberal education. As a research university, UVM endorses the intrinsic value of the creation of new knowledge and promotes the application of relevant knowledge to benefit a multi-dimensional and global society.
The success of UVM in the future will be defined by the rigor and excellence of its scholarly and creative work and the quality, diversity, and civility of the educational experience of undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. The contribution of the institution to the world of knowledge and its impact on the quality of life throughout the state, the nation, and the world, together with the effectiveness of the partnerships that link units within the University and that connect the University with broader communities, will be critical to this success.
As a research university, UVM is distinguished by the comprehensiveness of its academic mission, its range of graduate and undergraduate programs, and its commitment to research-based lifelong learning.
