Bennington College, founded in 1932, is distinguished for its pioneering initiatives in higher education. Rooted in its abiding faith in the talent, imagination, and responsibility of the individual, Bennington has been a national leader among liberal arts colleges, bringing an intensity and breadth to undergraduate education that comes from building deep connections between doing and knowing, thinking and acting, passion and reflection.
Bennington is located in southern Vermont on 370 acres at the foot of the Green Mountains. It is a short drive to the cultural offerings of the northern Berkshires in Massachusetts, Albany, New York, and many of Vermont’s recreational centers.
