ONE OF THE OLDEST COLLEGES IN THE NATION
Founded in 1819, Maryville is one of the oldest colleges in the United States and is known for its academic rigor and focus on the liberal arts and sciences, offering nearly 60 pre-professional programs of study. Ideally located between the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Knoxville, Tenn., Maryville offers students the best of both worlds: quick access to hiking, paddling, biking, and other outdoor activities as well as the culture and resources of a vibrant city. Additionally, the 263-acre campus includes 140 acres of College Woods that serve as both a natural classroom and a recreational haven. Maryville is a Presbyterian Church (USA)-related college, welcoming students of all faiths.

VALUING DIVERSITY
Since its founding, Maryville College has been committed to diversity. Mary Wilson, the first woman to earn a bachelor’s degree in Tennessee, earned hers in 1875 from Maryville College. And five years later, William Henderson Franklin became the first African American to graduate from the College. Still believing that a diverse student body enriches the educational experience for all students, the College has initiatives underway to enroll different populations, including Latinos, veterans and their dependents, and transfer students.

“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
