It’s a nice campus in a little town.

I graduated from Marietta quite a long time ago now (1986), but it is essentially the same great mix of a solid school with a low student/teacher ratio, and a beautiful historic town with nice outdoor scenery, but not so big you can get into a lot of trouble. Being able to get basically one-one help straight from your professor is something you will never get at a big school. Priceless. I have wonderful memories of Marietta, and I got a great education there.

My son toured the campus and fell in love with it! We had toured a couple other schools, that I thought couldn't be beaten, but he found his college!! He was accepted and sent in his registration payment!! He's going to be playing football for the college (OLB) and found a major he never considered which will be a perfect fit for him (sports management)! He received a great scholarship package and was on par with all the other colleges he had looked at and applied for FASFA (68% paid for through scholarships/grants). I'm so excited to see him so excited about going to college and getting to live out his dream to play football on a collegiate level!!

Just visited. Beautiful campus. Beautiful girls hanging in the library. People and place are both very attractive!

We had a very enjoyable time visiting the Marietta College campus. The surrounding town has a rich history. General Putnam was given a land grant by the United States for his service in the Revolutionary War. He chose the area that is now the town of Marietta. General Putnam also sold lots to many former Revolutionary war soldiers in exchange for their land grants. The school offers more than 50 undergraduate majors across the arts, sciences, and engineering, as well as Physician Assistant, Psychology, Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and Athletic training graduate programs. It has a beautiful campus that encompasses approximately three city blocks next to downtown Marietta and enrolls 1,200 full-time students. The original school was Muskingum Academy which was started in 1797 by the citizens and General Putnam. It was the first place of higher learning in the Northwest Territory and its first instructor was a Yale Graduate, David Putnam. (Credit Wikipedia, 2022)
