At Marian University we achieve this vision by preparing graduates who are: • knowledgeable and professional; • inquisitive in a broad, multi-dimensional, and critical way; • ethically informed and holistic in perspective; and • spiritually mature.
OUR MISSION To be a great Catholic university dedicated to providing students with excellent teaching and learning in the Franciscan and liberal arts tradition.
OUR FRANCISCAN SPONSORSHIP VALUES Our campus welcomes students of all faiths who seek an educational experience that emphasizes a Franciscan understanding of the sponsorship values of dignity of the individual, peace and justice, reconciliation, and responsible stewardship, informed by prayer.
Upon this strong foundation are three pillars of strength, on which all of the accomplishments of the Marian University community rest: • a commitment to excellent teaching and learning; • curriculum and programs in the liberal arts, Franciscan, and Catholic traditions; and • a campus community that creates a rich faith, culture, and social environment that nurtures high academic achievement and the ultimate purposes of higher education.
We create remarkable futures for those who attend Marian University by strengthening and building on these pillars.
