Founded in 1834, Green Mountain College is proud of its rich heritage as one of the oldest academic institutions in New England. As we look to the future, the College will build on our history as we continue to establish our identity as an Environmental Liberal Arts College in picturesque Poultney, VT. At Green Mountain, we pride ourselves on a strong tradition of hands-on education and personalized instructional style in a supportive, nurturing and creative environment, where students can find their niche and excel. We are a community of learners who think there is simply nothing more important than to study, understand, and preserve the environment."
