Welcome to Academics at Marietta College

While academic programs at Marietta College are quite diverse, all have a strong liberal arts foundation. From traditional liberal arts majors such as English and History, to unique professional programs, including Petroleum Engineering and Athletic Training, each major is carefully designed to prepare students for life after college.

The college has identified a number of core values and our curriculum reflects these values. One core value is connecting a broad liberal arts background to the world of work. To that end, students in every major have an opportunity to participate in an internship experience in their field.

In addition, we value internationalization and leadership, and require students to take classes in those areas as part of their general education program.

Another core value is our commitment to the first year of college. To prepare you for college life all first-year students participate in a first-year seminar.

The academic programs are supported by a number of centers that focus on success: the Academic Resource Center provides tutoring and study skills training, the Writing Center helps students improve their writing, the library provides electronic sources and extensive databases as well as the traditional printed materials, and special services are provided to our international students who are making the transition to a new culture.
