Champlain was founded in 1878, when G.W. Thompson opened Burlington Business School to prepare young men for “the business cares and responsibilities of life.” In 1884, when E. George Evans acquired the school, it became coeducational and changed its name to Queen City Business College.
Champlain awards bachelor's degrees in over 30 fields of study, including Computer and Digital Forensics, and Radiography. Some of the most popular undergraduate programs include Business, Graphic Design, and Electronic Game Programming.
