ADVANCING INNOVATION AND ACCESS
Academic Excellence
Curiosity grows through opportunity.
At Marietta College, students explore what interests them, connect knowledge to action, and pursue solutions to the challenges around them.
To carry that tradition forward, we are investing in outstanding faculty, relevant academic programs, advanced technologies, and modern learning environments that expand access and ignite innovation.
Your leadership opens doors to discovery—and prepares future Pioneers to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world.
Creating New Pathways
Marietta is expanding opportunities for undergraduate, graduate, and lifelong learners.
New undergraduate offerings in cybersecurity and esports management build upon the College’s strengths while preparing students for evolving fields. Master’s programs in reading science and clinical mental health counseling, along with the MBA, extend the reach of a Marietta education and respond to demonstrated professional and regional needs.
Launching and strengthening programs requires more than curriculum. Campaign support can provide the faculty expertise, technology, specialized equipment, and purpose-built learning spaces that allow new opportunities to take root and students to thrive.
Answering the Call for Care
Communities throughout our region need compassionate, highly skilled professionals prepared to improve lives.
Marietta is building upon its strengths to expand health sciences education, create new opportunities for students, and help address critical workforce needs. Our vision reaches beyond any single program: to prepare graduates who understand the needs of rural communities and are ready to serve where their expertise can make a meaningful difference.
The supply of mental health providers in Appalachian Ohio is 51% lower than the national average.

Elevating Hands-On Discovery
At Marietta College, academic excellence comes to life through experience.
Investments in laboratories, technology, specialized equipment, and student-faculty research will give students the tools to test ideas, solve problems, and translate what they learn into meaningful action. These resources will strengthen established areas of distinction while creating the foundation new programs need to flourish.
“The ability to work one on one with a faculty member who is an expert in her field has been one of my most important experiences here. These research investigations have sparked my curiosity, inspired confidence, and opened doors to many new opportunities.”
— Charlee Jo Breece ’27
