Nurses bring heightened knowledge of health care practices and technologies and an acute ability to integrate a patient’s health care, personal and spiritual needs to deliver high quality, evidence-based nursing care.

THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

DIRECT ADMISSION. Your passion for nursing won’t be put on hold. Marquette’s direct admission policy means you’ll start your nursing courses on the first day.

WE DELIVER. We alone. Graduates of our nurse-midwifery program, the only such program in Wisconsin, have established practices in hospitals and clinics to help mothers and fathers bring sons and daughters into the world.

JUMP START. Classroom learning is necessary, and real experience is essential. In your third year, you will begin seven distinct practica.

LEARN FROM THE BEST. Your professors will be nurses who 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 a variety of international settings. Faculty, in collaboration with advanced practice nurses, also provide care at Marquette's own Neighborhood Health Center.

FOUR YEARS AND OUT. If you follow the college’s rigorous program plan, you will graduate in four years — even when your program includes a semester abroad or in Washington, D.C.

DUAL STUDY. Gain a competitive edge from dual study in nursing and physical therapy, nursing and pre-medicine, or nursing and psychology.
