Applied Liberal Arts

The power of the applied approach

Marian students build a strong foundation in the liberal arts. 

So what does that really mean? It means that a Marian education is about you, and the connections you seek to make across disciplinary borders and intellectual boundaries. It is about acquiring the skills you need to become a leader in the workplace — the critical thinker, effective analyzer and persuasive communicator on whom the rest of the team depends.

But how does this foundation apply to my future? 

At Marian, we realize that you can only tap into the power of the liberal arts if you know how to successfully apply it in the real world. This is why a Marian education comes packed with hands-on learning opportunities. More than 95 percent of our students do an internship before they graduate.
