Overview
Marlboro College is a 4-year liberal arts college with a campus nestled in the heart of southern Vermont’s scenic Green Mountains. Marlboro offers a standard array of degree fields, but more than half of the student body opts to take an interdisciplinary path, combining two areas of study such as chemistry and ceramics. Beginning in their junior year, every Marlboro student designs a Plan of Concentration featuring a personalized academic theme to submit at the completion of their college career. Marlboro is a self governing community and students participate and vote in regularly scheduled Town Meetings to determine how the college will be run.

Marlboro College is a unique, interdisciplinary learning experience where you know your professors personally, sometimes even having dinner at their own homes. Marlboro is prized for its serious academic rigor and success. The student body of about 300 is interwoven with faculty and staff in most decisions at the college, making it an extremely democratic experience.
