The study of everything. The preparation for anything.

SHOW MORE

Perfectly situated between the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the city of Knoxville, Tennessee, Maryville College is a place where you’ll experience the everyday comforts of a welcoming community and beautiful campus. You’ll also find the unexpected: the study of everything combined with extensive career preparation, an emphasis on self-exploration combined with a commitment to service, a values-based foundation combined with universal acceptance of difference. 

These elements will hone your thinking and decision-making skills, and help you discover what interests you, what drives you, and what your greater purpose is. You’ll be equipped to address the hard problems, connect with people all over the globe, and succeed in any career (including the ones that have yet to be imagined). And when you graduate, you’ll be a well-rounded scholar, a capable leader, and an understanding citizen — committed to doing good on the largest possible scale.

VALUING DIVERSITY
Exploring the ideas, cultures, and values of others is a key part of an education at Maryville College. You’ll meet people from many backgrounds, beliefs, and nationalities. You’ll be challenged to question assumptions and examine alternate viewpoints to better understand others, and learn more about yourself. And with every new person you meet and meaningful discussion you have, you’ll feel — and extend — the sincere sense of welcome that makes Maryville College a true community of learning.

“I chose Maryville College because of the small class setting and the academic curriculum. Although it is challenging, professors are always willing to help. I love the atmosphere. Everyone has made me feel welcomed from the moment I first visited Maryville.” – Edna Hernandez
