Academic Program: Think College Vermont
What started out as a federally funded grant is now a thriving, inclusive program for students with intellectual disabilities. Think College students take UVM courses, participate in for-credit internships, and navigate campus culture with the support of peer mentors. These credits and experiences culminate in a Certificate of Professional Studies through UVM's College of Continuing and Distance Education, with the ultimate goal of more gainful employment.
