Located in Maryville, Tennessee, approximately 20 miles south of Knoxville in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Maryville College operates on a 263-acre wooded campus that combines historic red-brick buildings with modern facilities. Founded in 1819 by Presbyterian minister Isaac Anderson, the college maintains its historical Presbyterian affiliation while functioning as a private liberal arts institution. The college requires all students to complete a comprehensive senior thesis project and offers notable programs in education, business, and environmental studies, with experiential learning opportunities enhanced by the campus's proximity to both urban areas and natural landscapes. Maryville College provides traditional residential housing for students in six residence halls, and the campus includes the 140-acre College Woods, which serves as an environmental classroom and recreational space.
