Marketing at Champlain College

With only two schools offering marketing degrees in Vermont, Champlain's program sits right at the state median—which means it's essentially the entire in-state market. The $42,569 starting salary falls about $2,000 below the national median for marketing grads, placing it in the 36th percentile nationally. The $24,125 debt load is roughly average, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.57 that most graduates should be able to handle with standard repayment plans.

The real limitation here is context: with fewer than 30 graduates in the dataset, these numbers could shift significantly year to year. What we do know is that Champlain charges private school tuition for outcomes that land in the lower-middle tier nationally. If your student has strong admission credentials (the average SAT of 1262 suggests reasonable selectivity), they might find better value at larger state universities with more established marketing programs and stronger corporate recruiting pipelines.

For Vermont residents committed to staying in-state, this is a viable option with reasonable debt. For out-of-state families paying full freight, the numbers suggest looking at public universities in your home state or private schools with demonstrably stronger placement records in marketing.
