Marlboro College is a small, private liberal-arts college in Marlboro, Vermont. Students at Marlboro create an individualized course of study in collaboration with faculty members and participate in a self-governed (self-run) community. Students pursue a self-designed, often inter-disciplinary thesis, the Plan of Concentration, based on their academic interests that culminates in a major body of scholarship. Students can use the college's organic farm, solar greenhouse, nature forestland preserve, and aviary. Weekly "town meetings" are held to vote for and change the college's bylaws.
