Marlboro College was a private liberal arts institution located in rural southern Vermont, operating from 1946 until its closure in 2020. Situated on a former dairy farm encompassing 360 acres in the Green Mountains, the campus featured converted farm buildings and modern academic facilities surrounded by hiking trails and wooded areas. The college operated with a distinctive educational model where students designed their own course of study and completed independent work culminating in a senior thesis. Known for its small classes and intensive writing program, Marlboro emphasized interdisciplinary studies in the humanities, natural sciences, and visual arts. The college merged with Emerson College in Boston in 2020, ending its operations at the Vermont campus.
