From the beginning, Marietta has been an independent, nonsectarian, liberal arts college.

Today’s graduates share a common foundation of courses in written and spoken communication, and have been required to acquire a coherent experience in several fields of study. Moreover, each has pursued an in-depth study of a discipline in one or more of the nearly 50 undergraduate or graduate programs. Marietta College grants degrees to these individuals, confident they have been readied to exercise their callings with competence and to fulfill their civic and social responsibilities with understanding.
