In the state of Vermont, there are 20 colleges and universities currently operating. This figure includes two universities, one art school, one culinary school, and one law school, as well as a number of undergraduate associates and baccalaureate colleges. Two other schools have closed or merged with other schools in the state.
The oldest school in Vermont is Castleton State College, founded in 1787 during the days of the independent Vermont Republic. The newest is Landmark College, founded in 1984 to serve students with learning disabilities; it is also the most expensive college in the United States.[1] The largest such institution is the public University of Vermont. The smallest college in the state, with 98 students, is Sterling College, a work college focused on environmental studies.[2]
All of these schools are accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges,[3] except Vermont College of Fine Arts, which has applied for accreditation,[4] and New England Culinary Institute, which is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology.[5]
