Marietta College ( MC) is a Private college liberal arts college in Marietta, Ohio, United States. Its campus encompasses approximately six city blocks next to downtown Marietta and enrolls 1,200 students.
The academy eventually evolved into a college, initially chartered as the Marietta Collegiate Institute and Western Teachers' Seminary on January 16, 1833. However, this institution lacked the critical authority to grant degrees, so a wholly new charter was approved two years later, bringing the renamed Marietta College into existence on January 16, 1835. The former Muskingum Academy was continued as the Marietta College College Preparatory Department until its elimination in 1913.

There are three honors tracks: curriculum honors, research honors, and college honors. The curriculum honors track provides a course of study for accomplished students. The research honors designation varies across disciplines but typically involves the writing and defense of a thesis. When a student completes the honors curriculum and successfully defends an honors thesis, they achieve college honors status.

Marietta's baseball team has won six national championships, and an NCAA Division III record: in 1981, 1983, 1986, 2006, 2011, and 2012. The first three were under coach Don Schaly, who died on March 9, 2005; the three most recent have been under coach Brian Brewer. By repeating as the national champions in 2011 and 2012 the Pioneers became the first team to do that in NCAA Division III play since the Rowan Profs won back-to-back championships in 1978 and 1979. Five former Pioneer baseball players—Kent Tekulve, Duane Theiss, Jim Tracy, Terry Mulholland and Matt DeSalvo—have reached the Major League level.
