Moving Marshall Forward

Our six interdisciplinary pillars of excellence at Marshall University were discovered through extensive external and internal analysis.

At Marshall, we’re igniting the Appalachian spirit of resiliency and tackling the shifting landscape of higher education.

The pillars are focused on areas where Marshall already excels, where real results and examples demonstrate our success, areas where we can differentiate and be distinctive amongst competitive institutions.

We’re committed to making a difference in Appalachia and beyond—driving economic growth, fostering innovation and empowering our community through workforce and economic development initiatives—and it starts right here at Marshall.
