Middlebury College

Middlebury College is a private liberal arts college located on 350 acres in Addison County. The college also operates schools and graduate programs across the country and around the world, attracting a total enrollment of about 2,500 students each year. Middlebury competes in NCAA athletics, houses an on-campus art museum, and engages full-time students in its thriving residential community. Middlebury's liberal arts curriculum ensures every student receives an interdisciplinary education. Alongside an in-depth major, undergraduates complete several courses in writing, cultures and civilizations, and seven core academic categories. Available majors include anthropology, comparative literature, economics, global health, and physics. The school's independent scholar program provides a customizable curriculum to motivated students who have clearly defined goals that cannot be met by an existing major. Prospective undergraduate students must supply a completed application; official transcripts; and supplemental materials including an essay, two teacher recommendations, and standardized test scores.
