Woodbury College was an institute of higher learning in Montpelier, Vermont, USA.

History

It was established in 1975 as Woodbury Associates by Larry Mandell and Robert Brower.[1] In 1984, it received regional accreditation from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. It was also accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education.[2]

In 1993 it began offering associate's degrees with bachelor's degrees first being offered in 2000.[1] At the time of its closure, 42 percent of the classes were offered online, though traditionally the college had mostly offered in-person instruction.

Location

It was originally located at 659 Elm Street in Montpelier[3] and later, in 1987, purchased a barn located across the street at 391 Elm Street.

Closure

In August 2008, it merged with Champlain College, where its 125 students were transferred.[4] The campus was purchased by the Community College of Vermont.[5]
