Lyndon's students don't just study, they do.
That's what we mean by "Experiences make the education:"
- Our television studies majors anchor a live news broadcast every day.
- Some students win Emmy awards and work for ESPN (24 grads and counting.)
- Others forecast the weather and win national forecasting awards.
- Some students grab some of the most prestigious jobs in weather reporting, including in Antarctica, The White House, the Air Force, and The Weather Channel.
- Global Studies students travel to Kenya with the nation’s top polygamy scholar.
- Many take advantage of travel opportunities to countries of academic and personal interest like Italy, Greece, New Zealand, England, Ecuador, to name a few.
- They meet Ambassadors to the U.N. and study with classmates from the war torn Sudan region of Africa.
- Most participate in one or more of a wide range of on-campus activities, including clubs and NCAA/Division III athletics.
- Our psychology/human services majors begin fieldwork in their sophomore year.
- Education majors have significant hours of student teaching by the time they reach their senior year.
- Sustainability Studies students gain a deep scientific understanding that supports their education about environmental law and policy.
- Students who combine their love of nature with management and fun study in the first-of-its-kind ski resort management program and a GIS Mapping program that took them to Costa Rica to map the country -- after mapping our own backyard, the Northeast Kingdom.
What more do you need to know?
- We have some of the top programs of their kind in the country, and we attract high achieving students.
- Our students in every major receive a degree that provides each graduating student-body a 95+% job placement rate.
- Lyndon students receive one-on-one attention from the moment we meet them as a prospective student, either on the road, online, or on the phone.
- Our faculty comes from some of the finest institutions of higher learning in the country. They have come to Lyndon because they choose to be at a small college in Vermont. Our faculty have strong personal values:
- They prefer the personal attention they can give students in a small college setting to lecturing in front of 600 anonymous students at a large university
- They share a desire to contribute their expertise to a strong academic environment
- They value Vermont's famously beautiful landscape
- They embrace a way of life that is connected to nature
