School Description

Provided by Middlebury College

Imagine yourself at Middlebury College, with four years to try new ideas and explore the subjects and pursuits you feel passionate about. Four years to explore a liberal arts curriculum so diverse and interdisciplinary that it would take over a century to experience it all. Four years to act in a student production, do research with faculty scientists, join a relief mission to a country halfway around the world, hike the Long Trail, or play left wing on the hockey team. Where would you start? No matter where you choose to begin, Middlebury offers abundant opportunities for learning and growth—and opens doors to the future you envision.

Middlebury College is committed to educating students in the tradition of the liberal arts. This tradition embodies a method of discourse as well as a group of disciplines; in our scientifically and mathematically oriented majors, just as in the humanities, the social sciences, the arts, and the languages, we emphasize reflection, discussion, and intensive interactions between students and faculty members. Our vibrant residential community, remarkable facilities, and the diversity of our co-curricular activities and support services all exist primarily to serve these educational purposes.

Middlebury is one of the country's top liberal arts colleges. It offers its students a broad curriculum embracing the arts, humanities, literature, foreign languages, social sciences, and natural sciences. Middlebury is an institution with a long-standing international focus, a place where education reflects a sense of looking outward, and a realization that the traditional insularity of the United States is something of the past. We seek to bring to Middlebury those who wish not only to learn about themselves and their own traditions, but also to see beyond the bounds of class, culture, region, or nation. Indeed, the central purpose of a Middlebury education is precisely to transcend oneself and one's own concerns. This transcendence may come for some through the study of other cultures; for some through the study of the environment; for others it will come through inquiry into such fields as physics or philosophy, mathematics or music.

The Middlebury College faculty is composed of outstanding, dedicated teachers who are also accomplished scholars. Students have many opportunities to work closely with their teachers, and intellectual exchange with the faculty goes on outside the classroom as well as during class. The liberal arts education offered by the College is designed to enable students to lead rewarding lives of ongoing intellectual and spiritual growth and to prepare them to meet the challenges of responsible citizenship in a complex, changing world.

The College curriculum is designed to ensure that each student's education includes a certain breadth of experience, as well as in-depth study in one area defined by the major. Curricular breadth is achieved through a set of distribution requirements that encompass seven academic categories and four courses in different cultures and civilizations. There are also other general requirements—which Middlebury sees as opportunities—providing the chance to explore new areas of inquiry. In all of these areas students have a broad range of choices.

The facilities at Middlebury—academic, residential, artistic, and athletic—are among the very best in the country. Over the past two decades, the College has engaged in an ambitious building program and continued to maintain its facilities to a high standard, with little deferred maintenance. Almost all of Middlebury's residence halls have been renovated or newly constructed since the mid-1980s. The Center for the Arts is a 100,000-square-foot building that opened in 1992 and provides offices and performance spaces for the music, dance, and theatre programs, in addition to housing the Museum of Art. McCardell Bicentennial Hall, a 220,000-square-foot building completed in 1999, houses seven departments in the natural and social sciences and has won several awards for both energy and environmental efficiency and technological sophistication. A new library and technology center was completed in the summer of 2004, a 135,000-square-foot building that brings together the College's print, media, and electronic information resources and services in a single accessible and user-friendly facility.

Middlebury College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Middlebury College is a private and highly selective liberal arts college located in Middlebury, Vermont, United States. Drawing 2,350 undergraduates from all 50 United States and over 70 countries, Middlebury offers 44 majors in the arts, humanities, literature, foreign languages, social sciences, and natural sciences. In addition to its core undergraduate program, the college organizes summer graduate programs in modern languages and English literature. It is one of the "Little Ivies."

History

Founding and 19th Century

Middlebury received its founding charter on November 1, 1800 as an outgrowth of the Addison County Grammar School, which had been founded three years earlier in 1797.

Its founding religious affiliation was loosely Congregationalist. Yet the idea for a college was that of town fathers rather than clergymen, and Middlebury was clearly "the Town's College" rather than the Church's. Chief among its founders were Seth Storrs and Gamaliel Painter, the former credited with the idea for a college and the latter as its greatest early benefactor. In addition to receiving a diploma upon graduation, Middlebury graduates also receive a replica of Gameliel Painter's cane. Painter bequeathed his original cane to the College and it is carried by the College President at official occasions including first-year convocation and graduation.

Alexander Twilight, class of 1823, was the first black graduate of any college or university in the United States; he also became the first African American elected to public office, being elected to the Vermont House of Representatives in 1836.

In 1883, the trustees voted to accept women as students in the college, making Middlebury one of the first formerly all-male liberal arts colleges in New England to become a coeducational institution.

20th Century

The national fraternity Kappa Delta Rho was founded in Painter Hall on May 17, 1905. Middlebury College abolished fraternities in the early 1990s, but the organization continued on campus in the less ritualized form of a social house. Due to a policy at the school against single-sex organizations, the house was forced to coeducate during the same period as well.

Question: College help!?

I'm having trouble deciding which college to go to. I got accepted into the University of Texas at Austin and Middlebury. Middlebury usually costs $50K/year, but I would only have to pay $12K. UT would cost me $10/year. I don't exactly know what I want to do when I grow older. I haven't had any formal journalism classes, but I feel that I might want to become a newspaper writer. I'm also into advertisement. Middlebury doesn't have an journalism or business department. I plan to go to graduate school, and I don't want to work as hard as I am now (I know I will have to work hard to maintain my GPA, but not more arduously than I have to). Where should I go?! =-O Thank you! =]

Middlebury can give you a very good education with a great deal of personal attention that you wouldn't get at a huge outfit like UT. Both schools are excellent. Don't worry about the journalism or business division, because you want an education, not job training, and with a good solid liberal-arts education you'll be able to learn the other stuff without much trouble. At either school, take math, history, sciences, languages, law, philosophy, and the fine arts, and when you're done you'll find that you've become an educated person: one who can take life as it comes, adapt to new situations, and not be fooled by every charlatan who comes down the road. Hint: most journalists didn't take journalism. I write for the local paper myself, and the journalism part of it is all stuff you can learn in less than a year on the job. And a lot of swell businessmen didn't take business, either. Get your education at college, and job training in your job.

Question: Anyone go to Colby, Bowdoin, Bates, Middlebury, or Carleton colleges?

If you go to or are an alum of any of these schools, I'm looking at them and would be interested in hearing what you have to say about them, what you like, dislike, etc. Also if you got in within the last 3 years or so, any insights on the application process and what you showed the college that you think made them want to accept you... Thank you so much college stuff is looming...

I'm not a current student or an alum, but Middlebury has got fantastic foreign language programs. I'm thinking of taking a MA there. These are all top notch institutions. If you haven't already, look at each college's website for the programs you're interested. Look at things like how long that major has existed there, how many students are in the program vs. how many faculty teach that program. If they have famous alums, they'll be listed; search the web to see what good or bad they've said about the college. Schedule a campus visit if you can. The college where I work has several weekends a year when prospective student can stay on campus. That’s a really good way to get a feel for the campus community. Check out the extra-curriculars and the campus amenities. Of course, where I work, we have a private beach - features like that sometimes win the day when someone can’t decide between otherwise equal schools. If they all seem to be about equal in terms of the educational quality for the major you want, then apply to them all and see what they offer you to go there in terms of scholarships. Then if you get more than one good deal, it’s a coin flip. Best of luck!
