ABOUT CHAMPLAIN

Our Connection to the Business Community

Champlain has been closely aligned with the business community since the College’s founding in 1878. Many of Champlain’s faculty members are practicing professionals who fuel their instruction with relevance straight from the business world. This entrepreneurial spirit -- and its attendant knowledge, experience and expertise -- adds a significant depth and breadth to the education of all of Champlain’s graduate students.
