MARQUETTE'S DIFFERENCE

Your passion for nursing won’t be put on hold. With our direct admission policy, you’ll start nursing courses on the first day of class.

Classroom learning is necessary, and real experience is essential. You’ll get hands-on experience in one of the 80-plus hospitals and clinics in the Milwaukee area, and we guarantee clinical space in sought-after specialties such as maternity, psychiatric, pediatric, medical-surgical and community health.

You’ll learn from the best. Our nursing professors have distinguished themselves with practice and research in pre-term labor prevention, alternative therapies, quality of life and chronic illness, and early detection of breast cancer in low-income women. They’ve also taken their care abroad to Africa and the Republic of Georgia.

Follow the College of Nursing’s rigorous curriculum, and you’ll graduate in four years — even if your program includes a semester abroad or at the Les Aspin Center for Government in Washington, D.C.

In Marquette’s nursing program, you don’t have to travel around the world to make a difference. The Marquette Clinic for Women and Children is right next door. We serve more than 1,000 women and children each year while providing real-world nurse training that exemplifies the Jesuit philosophy of cura personalis, or care for the whole person.

We deliver. We offer the only nurse-midwifery program in the state, and our graduates specialize
in that daily miracle — helping mothers and fathers bring sons and daughters into the world.
