Saint Michael's College sits on a 440-acre campus in Colchester, Vermont, located just minutes from Burlington and the shores of Lake Champlain. Founded in 1904 by the Society of Saint Edmund, this Catholic liberal arts institution maintains its religious heritage while serving students of all faiths. The campus combines traditional New England architecture with modern academic facilities, including recently renovated science laboratories and a state-of-the-art library. Saint Michael's offers comprehensive liberal arts and sciences programs, with notable strengths in environmental studies, journalism, and media studies, while requiring all students to complete a rigorous core curriculum. The college maintains a residential campus culture where most students live in college housing all four years, and competes in NCAA Division II athletics as the Purple Knights.
