The school offers more than 40 majors along with a large number of minors, all of which used to be grounded in a strong liberal arts foundation. The school encompasses approximately three city blocks in downtown Marietta and enrolls about 1,400 full-time students each year.

Marietta College is one of America's 37 "Revolutionary Colleges," institutions with origins reaching back to the eighteenth century.
Originally founded as the Muskingum Academy in 1797, today's College was chartered in 1835. In 1860, Marietta became the sixteenth college awarded a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the world's oldest honorary society.
