Marlboro College
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.
