Why make it Marian?
Earning a distinguished reputation for excellence, Marian University has educated nurses for more than 40 years.
At the baccalaureate level, the broad education foundation helps students develop a deep understanding of society and health care issues. Students achieve success in the classroom and in clinical experiences through their partnership with experienced faculty, clinical agency preceptors, and fellow students. Graduates are highly regarded by employers for their clinical competence and leadership abilities. The liberal arts studies and the core values of the College — Community, Learning, Service, Social Justice, and Spiritual Traditions — provide the unique foundation for excellence.
At the graduate level, nurses are prepared to assume advanced practice and leadership roles in the health care system and in nursing education. Nurse educators are prepared to provide nursing and patient education in a variety of settings. Adult nurse practitioners provide primary care for adults, and through Marian's program, are prepared for certification exams and licensure for prescriptive authority in Wisconsin.
