Green Mountain College to close at the end of the year [View all]

Green Mountain College officials announced Wednesday that the school would close at the end of the academic year due to declining enrollments.

The Poultney school also announced that Prescott College in Arizona has agreed to enroll students who want to finish out their degrees in the same area of study. The two schools are founding members of the EcoLeague consortium of environmentally-focused colleges.

Seven other schools, including three in Vermont, have agreed to “teach-out” agreements, which allow students to automatically enroll and finish their degrees, according to a public relations consultant representing the college.

Just next door in Rutland county, Castleton University has already organized information sessions this weekend for students who want to transfer. Marlboro College and Sterling College will participate in the “teach-out” plan.
