three students walking in the sun Marlboro College seeks students with intellectual promise, a high degree of motivation, self-discipline, personal stability, social concern, and the ability and desire to contribute to the College community.

Marlboro's mission "to teach students to think clearly and to learn independently" is best served when students experience a wide variety of ideas, opinions, and cultural backgrounds. Students are thereby better prepared to recognize and then to acquire the skills and understanding they may need to succeed as citizens in the wider world. Marlboro seeks, then, to sustain a community diverse in the background experience, interests, ideas, and cultural practice of its members and to engage one another constructively toward that end.

Marlboro College is not the school for everyone, however, if you are an independent thinker and have a passion for learning, you will find here a community of scholars unlike that at any other college.
