Community College of Vermont

The Community College of Vermont (CCV) operates its main administrative center in Vermont's capital city of Montpelier, while maintaining twelve academic centers distributed across the state to serve rural and urban communities. Established in 1970 as Vermont's second public institution of higher education, CCV employs a distributed campus model rather than a traditional single-campus approach. The college offers associate degrees and certificates in more than 20 programs, with business, liberal studies, and early childhood education among its most-enrolled areas of study. CCV maintains an open admission policy, providing access to higher education for all Vermont residents, and delivers courses through both in-person and online formats. Students typically commute to their local academic centers, as the institution does not provide housing facilities.
