About this School
Middlebury College is a small, highly selective liberal arts college located in the rural New England town of Middlebury, Vermont. Founded in 1800, the college has a long history of distinguished scholarship, and is particularly well known for the strength of its foreign language, writing, environmental, and international studies programs. Today, Middlebury consistently ranks among the top liberal arts colleges in the nation. The 350 acre (1.4 km²) main campus is located in the Champlain Valley between Vermont's Green Mountains to the east and New York's Adirondack Mountains to the west; the nearby 1,800 acre (7.3 km²) mountain campus, hosts the college's Bread Loaf School of English and the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference every summer. The Conference was founded on an idea first born of poet Robert Frost. Approximately 2,300 students attend Middlebury during the regular academic year, representing all 50 United States and over 70 foreign countries. Founded in 1915, the Middlebury Language Schools take over the campus during the summer, teaching about 1,200 students Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. The C.V. Starr - Middlebury Schools Abroad host students at 21 sites in Argentina, China, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Spain and Uruguay. Alexander Twilight, class of 1823, was the first black graduate of any college in the United States. In 1883, the trustees voted to accept women as students in the College, making Middlebury one of the first formerly all-male liberal arts colleges in New England to become a coeducational institution. In May 2004, an anonymous benefactor made a $50 million donation to Middlebury. It was the largest cash gift the school has ever received. The donation brought Middlebury's total endowment to more than $700 million. The donor asked only that Middlebury name its recently built science building, Bicentennial Hall, after outgoing President John McCardell Jr. In 2005, Middlebury signed an affiliation agreement with the Monterey Institute of International Studies, a graduate school located in Monterey, California. While the Monterey Institute will remain a separate institution, the affiliation will enable both schools to further their programs in international studies and foreign languages.
