Johnson State College
From an elementary and secondary school established in 1828, Johnson State College (JSC) achieved its university status in 1962 to become a college that provides liberal arts education. In between these two landmark years, JSC was chartered as the Johnson Academy in 1832, became the Johnson Normal School in 1866 and the Johnson Teachers College in 1947. More than a change in name is the change in curriculum which now includes professional programs and the change in mission which widened in scope.
JSC is located at 337 College Hill, Johnson, Vermont. Johnson is a small college town having a classic New England atmosphere. The JSC campus is surrounded by high mountains and overlooks the Lamoille River. A nearby facility called the Vermont Studio Center holds numerous events while hosting renowned writers and artists.
