Champlain College Featured in The Atlantic as an 'Ideal College'

In October, The Atlantic magazine featured Champlain as a model for what an ideal college would look like. Writer and higher education expert John Tierney highlighted Champlain College as an institution that exceeds all expectations.

Tierney presents his vision of an ideal college as a place where "students would acquire training that makes them immediately employable. They'd take courses in the liberal arts that would sharpen their skills in writing, analysis, and reasoning. And they'd graduate with some real-life knowledge, such as how to interview for a job. There'd be no tenure for faculty, but instructors would be made to feel they're valued members of the enterprise. And administrators would constantly ask themselves 'how can we prepare students for what the world needs of them?'" He goes on to say that Champlain meets every aspect of this ideal vision and, in the process, is gaining the attention of the higher-ed world. 

We always knew Champlain was a gem, so we are especially proud to share this article with you!
