Marian University Tuition Cost
Taking action to deliver affordable tuition
Driven by our Catholic values and mission, we work tirelessly to provide a value-based education to all students – and we’ve been doing so since our founding in 1936. We pride ourselves on offering an excellent educational experience, and we have gone to great lengths to make our tuition as affordable as possible. That’s why we offer the lowest tuition compared to all the private colleges and universities in Wisconsin.
