Admission with Associate of Arts or Associate of Science Degree

Marietta College encourages application for admission from students completing their Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree. Any graduate of an accredited two-year college with an A.A. or an A.S. degree and a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.500 (on a 4.000 scale) may be admitted with junior class standing (a minimum of 59 semester credit hours). Most students with A.A. or A.S. degrees can obtain a Bachelor’s degree from Marietta College in two years. In each case, of course, the ability to do so depends upon the number of courses taken at the two-year college that will meet:
