The Heart of Vermont
Freedom and Unity — that’s the Vermont state motto and we take it to heart. With the freedom to dig in and explore in the classroom, across our five campuses and additional learning sites, and around the Green Mountains through internships and community learning.
Vermont State University is as complex and agile as our state itself. Students come first, always. The Vermont State experience is designed to empower students to thrive in their personal and professional lives, and to become facilitators of positive change in Vermont and beyond.
We Are Better Together
Vermont State University brings together the best of Castleton University, Northern Vermont University, and Vermont Technical College.
From north to south and east to west, Vermont State offers multiple campuses and learning sites to meet students where they are and where they want to be.
