With Vermont State’s Education, Psychology, and Social Sciences programs, our experiential approach to your education offers unique opportunities to make an impact during your program and beyond.

  • Learn how to teach all of your students through inclusive education
  • Explore restorative justice as an opportunity to affect the system
  • Delve into nationally funded faculty research and present at conferences — an uncommon opportunity for undergraduate students!
  • Learn how to help build community resiliency through work with local agencies
  • Gain career-ready skills through internships in every field and collaborations with faculty and industry professionals.

Our graduates work as social workers, mental health counselors, doctors, researchers, administrators, and lawyers. They teach in every level of education, from early childhood through graduate school, and make a difference in the field of criminal justice.

“This is one of the only schools that offer in-depth classes on restorative justice. I put a lot of value on that… I feel like I have the ability and motivation to change the system to make it fairer.”

Cole Stillson Criminal Justice

“The education department builds on what you learn. You get into the classroom more. You get into lesson planning… I went into my job after graduation knowing what to expect, and I felt really good about that.”
