Marlboro College was a private college located in Marlboro, Vermont. Established in 1946, the institution maintained a deliberately small enrollment and operated as a self-governing academic community. Its educational model emphasized individualized learning, allowing students to design their own degree plans, typically culminating in a senior thesis. In 1998, the college expanded its offerings by establishing a graduate school.
Marlboro College ceased operations at the end of the 2019–2020 academic year. Its remaining endowment and academic legacy were transferred to Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts, leading to the creation of the Marlboro Institute of Liberal Arts and Interdisciplinary Studies at Emerson.

The Marlboro Music School and Festival is a retreat for advanced classical training and musicianship held for seven weeks each summer in Marlboro, Vermont, in the United States. Public performances are held each weekend while the school is in session, with the programs chosen only a week or so in advance from the sixty to eighty works being currently rehearsed. Marlboro Music was conceived as a retreat where young musicians could collaborate and learn alongside master artists in an environment removed from the pressures of performance deadlines or recording. It combines several functions; Alex Ross describes it as functioning "variously as a chamber-music festival, a sort of finishing school for gifted young performers, and a summit for the musical intelligentsia".
