Marietta College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Marietta College?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, Marietta College's listed full-time undergraduate tuition was $38,508, with $1,144 in required fees. The reported amounts were the same for in-state and out-of-state undergraduates. These are published charges before grants or scholarships.

• Tuition and required fees: $39,652.
• Typical room and board: $13,296.
• Estimated books and supplies: $1,506.

Together, those reported items total $54,454 for an illustrative residential academic year. That sum is not a complete personal cost-of-attendance budget: transportation, personal expenses, and possible program-specific charges can add to it. Actual housing and meal-plan choices also affect the bill.

Published price is different from net price, the amount remaining after grant and scholarship aid in the relevant measure. Reported average net prices ranged from $17,191 for students from families with annual income up to $48,000 to $25,570 for those above $110,000. Those averages are not individual aid offers. Institutional aid reporting shows that all students in the measured group received some form of financial aid, while 69% had student loans; receiving aid therefore does not necessarily mean avoiding borrowing.

Eligible students may be considered for federal grants and loans, applicable Ohio aid, and institutional scholarships or grants. The FAFSA is the starting point for federal aid consideration, while some scholarships or programs may have additional requirements. Compare an individual aid offer by separating grants, which generally do not need repayment, from loans and expected student earnings.

What are the work-study opportunities at Marietta College?

Marietta College students can pursue part-time employment alongside coursework, but a student job should not be confused with a grant or a guaranteed internship. Federal Work-Study, when included in an eligible student's aid offer, provides a way to earn wages through qualifying work; it does not usually reduce the tuition bill automatically.

Students should ask the financial aid office how Work-Study eligibility is determined and where approved jobs are posted. They can also look for campus positions that do not require Federal Work-Study eligibility. Hours, pay, and job availability depend on the position and employer, so an estimated work award is not a promise of earnings.

For longer-term career preparation, the college reports access to individual and group career counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer events, and alumni networking. Those services can support an internship or job search, but their availability should not be interpreted as a verified employment outcome.
