Burlington College

Burlington College is a private liberal arts college located in Burlington, Vermont that offers (Associates, Bachelors ) and (Masters Degrees ) as well as several (professional certificate programs ). The college is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
The goals of the college are to engage the student body in activities promoting social and community involvement on a local and international scale, while also providing traditional university level education through degree programs. The college promotes student studies in fields not traditionally offered by competing universities and encourages students to tailor their own degree through an individualized undergraduate degree major; the Master’s program is completely individualized as well.
==History==
Burlington College started in 1972 as a tiny, close-knit group of 14 students meeting in the living room of founder Dr. Steward LaCasce. LaCasce’s approach to learning attracted a non-mainstream college population – returning Vietnam War veterans, single parents with dependent children, and others seeking alternative higher education opportunities. Known then as the Vermont Institute of Community Involvement, the school was dedicated to integrating learning, personal development, and engagement in the community into a comprehensive educational experience. Dr. LaCasse, and those who joined him in the effort spent much of their time in the early years protecting the college’s special nature while striving to seek recognition as a legitimate member of the higher education community. It was accredited by New England Association of Schools and Colleges in 1982 which marked the success of this initial phase of the college’s history; although the college is currently on probation for “failing to meet the financial resources standard,” NEASC will re-visit the college’s financial position in early October; the college anticipates full accreditation will be restored within this academic year.
The college has grown over the last forty years but continues to be student-centered and committed to individualized education. This commitment translates into narrative evaluations, student involvement in designing their own programs of study, one-on-one mentoring and support services, small seminary style classes and experiential learning – hands-on education from day one. While the college continues not beyond the ability to maintain the core educational values that they were founded upon and has never lost the close knit community students expect and the experience that the college fosters.
