Graduate Ready to Meet the World!


At Marietta College, students graduate with more than a major—they leave with the broad knowledge, skills, and experience needed to thrive in any career. Rooted in the liberal arts, every student completes coursework across multiple disciplines and a capstone in their field, building a strong academic foundation.

What truly sets Marietta apart is The Landmark Experience—hands‑on, professional‑level learning woven throughout campus life. As students lead organizations, complete internships, collaborate on research, serve in the community, and bring ideas to life, they develop five essential career‑readiness competencies: communication, critical thinking, leadership, teamwork and professionalism.

By combining a well‑rounded education with meaningful experience, Marietta prepares students to step confidently into their future—and stand out from day one.
