In 2024, the Princeton Review ranked UVM as the #1 Best School for Making an Impact and the #16 Green College. UVM research funding is currently at a
historic high, with a number of exciting research partnerships in recent years. The Rubenstein School has 54 tenure-track, research, and teaching faculty, 1263 undergraduates, and 124 graduate students in both MSc and PhD programs. Large research groups led by Rubenstein School faculty include the
Rubenstein Ecosystem Science Laboratory,
Aiken Forestry Science Laboratory (jointly operated with the U.S. Forest Service, Northern Forest Research Station), the
Gund Institute for Environment, and the recently launched
Climate Measurements Center of Excellence (CMeC). Faculty in the Rubenstein School span numerous disciplines and research focus areas, including environmental science, ecology, climate change, sustainability science, ecological economics, environmental policy, human behavior, and environmental justice. The College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences (CEMS) is home to about 120 faculty, 1400 undergraduate students, and 300 graduate students. CEMS is home to
CREATE, a convergent research center with 20 faculty across CEMS focused on advancing the next generation of energy and autonomous technologies. CREATE is driven by the rapid changes in today's power and energy systems, spurred by the aggressive decarbonization and electrification policies in Vermont and beyond. CEMS also has strengths in data science and hosts the
Vermont Complex Systems Center. Finally, UVM has a
joint appointment agreement with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).
