There's no better way to see firsthand what Marietta is really like: A college that never stands still in a city that has always been a place for leaders. A campus visit satisfies your curiosity and makes it all real. Most visits include an interview with the Admission office and a campus tour. You can sit in on a class and meet a professor. You can shake hands with a coach and go to a Pioneers sporting event. You can even spend the night in a residence hall with a current Marietta student.
