About Marietta College:

For nearly two centuries, Marietta College has embraced its commitment to serving young adults seeking to better their lives and to turn their life's passions into actionable good in the world. Committed to a contemporary liberal arts education and home to the 16th oldest chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, Marietta offers more than 40 undergraduate programs as well as graduate programs in Physician Assistant Studies, Sustainability Leadership, and Psychology.  
 
At Marietta, students learn from talented faculty members who are respected in their fields and wholly dedicated to teaching the next generation of leaders. Our professors share their knowledge with students and challenge them to develop their skillsets through serious research, experiential opportunities, and internships. Every student completes Marietta's rigorous General Education Curriculum, which builds strong communication skills and exposes students to new ideas and interests.  
 
Our varsity athletic teams compete in NCAA Division III and against some of the best in the nation as a member of the Ohio Athletic Conference and Mid-Atlantic Rowing Conference. Marietta has won six national championships and 64 conference titles, including an OAC-record 46 baseball titles.  

More than 26,000 living members of The Long Blue Line proudly support their alma mater and help current students gain internships and connections into their chosen industries. This support, in addition to the vibrant growth on campus, is one of the reasons why The Chronicle of Higher Education named Marietta College one of the Great Colleges to Work For.  
 
The College sits on 90 picturesque acres in Marietta, Ohio, located just blocks from a historic downtown and the Ohio River.
