What Academic Programs Does the University of Vermont Offer?

The University of Vermont (UVM) offers programs across six credential types: bachelor's degrees, minors, master's degrees and accelerated entry programs, doctoral degrees, and certificates (graduate and undergraduate). You can explore all of them through the "Find Your Path" tool on the UVM website, which lets you filter by program type. If you already know your level — undergraduate, graduate/professional, or continuing education — the site also provides dedicated entry points for each.

Program types at a glance

The "Find Your Path" selector on the homepage uses these same categories, so choosing an option there narrows the catalog to the credential level you want.

How to explore programs by your situation

Prospective undergraduate students

Start with Areas of Study, which covers undergraduate majors and minors. From there you can branch into related pages such as Undergraduate Research, Student Life, and Residential Learning Communities if you want to understand the full undergraduate experience alongside the academics.

Prospective graduate and professional students

The Graduate College section lists graduate programs and admissions information. Professional study runs through separate schools — notably the Larner College of Medicine — and Professional and Continuing Education handles certificates and non-degree coursework. Funding information for graduate study is grouped under Funding Your Graduate Degree.

Transfer students

UVM maintains a dedicated Transfer Students path, which is worth using instead of the first-year admissions flow because requirements and credit evaluation differ.

Current students, faculty, staff, and alumni

The site's quick links route these groups to their own resources — Brightspace, MyUVM, Student Financial Services, the Career Center, and similar services — rather than the admissions-oriented program pages.

Applying and key dates

UVM promotes an early application option: apply by November 1 and you receive both your admission decision and your financial aid award before the end of the year. The site states there is no cost to apply. If cost or timing matters to your decision, confirm current details on the admissions pages before relying on them, since deadlines and fee policies can change.

Common sticking points

• Program type confusion. "Accelerated entry" programs sit under the master's category, not with bachelor's degrees, so search there if you're looking for a combined or fast-track path.
• Certificates split across two areas. Undergraduate and graduate certificates appear with the academic programs, while continuing education offerings live under Professional and Continuing Education — check both.
• Medicine is separate. Larner College of Medicine admissions and programs are not listed with the general Graduate College offerings.
