Undergraduate Graduation Requirements - Bachelor's Degrees

Undergraduate students usually earn degrees following the graduation requirements of the catalog in effect at the time of matriculation. However, students may choose to switch to a more current catalog that is in force during their time as a degree-seeking student at Marietta College, subject to the following restrictions:

  1. With continuous enrollment, excluding approved leave of absence, students may complete the general education/graduation requirements from any catalog in effect within the six academic years after matriculation.
  2. Students who add or change a major(s), minor(s), or specialization(s) must meet all requirements for the new program(s) as described in the most recently published catalog at the time the program addition or change is declared with the Records Office. In select cases, the department chair may grant permission for the student to complete the program requirements under a previous catalog, no earlier than the student’s date of matriculation.
  3. Students who are readmitted after two or more consecutive semesters away from the College must meet the requirements from the catalog in place at the time of readmission.
  4. Readmitted students who change or add major(s), minor(s), or specializations(s) after readmission must meet all requirements for the new program(s) as described in the most recently published catalog at the time the program addition or change is declared with the Records Office.

Students are responsible for reading and regularly reviewing all applicable requirements and related policies and procedures that govern the academic program being followed, as well as monitoring their progress toward fulfilling those requirements. Of course, we understand that this can be daunting and to assist students in their academic progress, all undergraduate, degree-seeking students will select or will be assigned an academic advisor. See Academic Advising for more information. The academic advisor is available to help students understand and follow the various academic requirements and policies, as are the Registrar and Assistant Registrar. In cases where there is a disagreement in the interpretation of one or more graduation requirements, the Academic Standards Committee will be the final arbiter.

Students are also responsible for notifying the Records Office in a timely manner of any addition or removal of a major, minor, or specialization from the program of study. It also is important that all changes in the student's schedule be reported to the Records Office and within the published timeframes (see Registration for more information). These notifications should be submitted via MC email or by submission of applicable forms, available at the Records Office window.

To receive a bachelor’s degree from Marietta College, the following requirements must all be satisfied:
