The University of Vermont and State Agricultural College (UVM) is a public university. Established in 1791, it is one of the oldest universities in the United States and receives funding from the state of Vermont. As a land-grant institution, UVM combines public education with research and outreach missions, serving both local and global communities.
While it operates with public support, UVM also has private endowments and partnerships. However, its governance, funding structure, and mission align with public university standards, offering subsidized tuition for Vermont residents and maintaining accessibility as a core principle.
