The University of Vermont is a university in Burlington, Vermont. The University of Vermont was chartered in 1791 at the impetus of Ira Allen, originally under the name "University of the Green Mountain" or in Latin Universitas Viridis Montis, hence the initialism UVM. Vermont Agricultural College was chartered November 22, 1864, subsequent to the Land-Grant College Act, and merged with the University in 1865 when insufficient funds were raised to open the College as an independent institution. The official name of the combined entity has been The University of Vermont and State Agricultural College ever since. Unsurprisingly, UVM is known for its programs in agriculture and life sciences. The University of Vermont was considered to be a Public Ivy among six other institutions.

The University of Vermont has adjacent campuses on a hillside overlooking Burlington. Central Campus is between Colchester Avenue to the north, East Avenue to the east, South Prospect Street to the west, and Main Street (which becomes Williston Road) to the south. Other campuses include the Redstone Campus and Trinity Campus. The largest hospital complex in Vermont, Fletcher Allen Health Care, has its primary facility on the UVM campus and is affiliated with the UVM College of Medicine.

The school's sports teams are called the Catamounts and the school colors are green & gold. They participate in the NCAA's Division I America East Conference and the Hockey East. The University of Vermont has not had a football program since 1974. The men's basketball team defeated Syracuse University in the first round of the 2005 NCAA Tournament, earning their first tournament victory ever.
