Dorcas ChapelYou Are Marian
What is Marian University all about?
It’s about outstanding academic programs designed to meet the needs of undergraduate and graduate students, and working adults. It’s about a distinguished faculty, a flexible curriculum, and a whole world of exciting research, internship and other experiential learning opportunities.
Above all, it’s about becoming whoever you want to be ...
A thinker in constant pursuit of new ideas to open your mind … an achiever who firmly believes that the best lessons are those learned through real-life experiences … an adventurer ever ready to embrace a new experience, or make a new friend … a champion, a fierce competitor on the field or the court, and a fully engaged student in the classroom … a leader passionate about social justice, who seeks a life full of values, faith, meaning and purpose.
Here, you are more than just a student, a teacher, a roommate, a best friend, an athlete, a coach, an administrator, a graduate …
You are Marian.
