Most colleges have
you wait until your third or fourth
year to take in-depth courses in your
chosen major. At Champlain, you’ll
start taking these core courses in
your major from day one. In your third
and fourth years, you’ll supplement
your studies with a series of humanities
and social sciences courses designed
to provide a strong foundation for
further study and professional advancement.
Unsure about
your major? No problem. During your
first two semesters in the "Undeclared"
category, you'll participate in Champlain's
Career Decision program, a series
of activities designed to help you
focus on your interests and decide
on a major that best matches those
interests. Our advising programs and
services will prepare you to declare
a major at the end of your first year.

Immersion in Your
Chosen Career
Starting on your
very first day of class, Champlain’s
career-focused curriculum keeps you
immersed in your major field of study
for four intensive semesters. By your
third year, while your peers at other
colleges have just begun their in-depth
major studies, you’re likely
to be completing a valuable internship
on the way to a rewarding career!
Internship Opportunities
Internships are
available in most major. Check the
curriculum in each major of interest
to you and determine when an internship
is offered or required. Internships
are a great way to apply what you
have learned in the classroom, and
also to sample life within that profession
prior to making an employment decision.
