What academic programs is the University of Vermont best known for?

I’m a high school junior trying to narrow down my college list, and the University of Vermont keeps coming up. I know it has a good campus and location, but I’m more interested in what it’s actually strong in academically.

I’m trying to understand which majors or programs UVM is especially known for so I can tell whether it fits the kind of school I want.

The University of Vermont is best known for strong programs in environmental studies, natural resources, and the life sciences, especially biology and related pre-health fields. It also has a well-regarded Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, plus a respected Larner College of Medicine. On the business side, the Grossman School of Business is another solid area, and UVM has a long-standing reputation for health sciences, nursing, and sustainable agriculture.

If you’re looking at UVM academically, it tends to stand out most for students interested in sustainability, ecology, environmental policy, plant and animal sciences, and health-related majors. UVM is also known for having a broad liberal arts foundation, so many students pair those signature areas with strong programs in the humanities, social sciences, and the arts.
