Project BEYOND-2
Project BEYOND-2 seeks to encourage students from underrepresented backgrounds to pursue a rewarding career in professional nursing. As a nursing student, you will join a community of support at the Marquette University College of Nursing. Faculty, advisers and community leaders will assist you in achieving academic success.
Pre-admission intensive session for new freshmen
Project BEYOND-2 offers an intensive, on-campus, four-day summer session to begin socialization and readiness for college. The session focuses on note-taking, study skills, test-taking strategies, stress and time management, professional writing, using university resources, applying for scholarships and accessing faculty assistance.
Academic and personal support
Sessions include alternating structured and non-structured sessions and presentations from faculty, university leaders, support services and other community leaders. Non-structured sessions allow students to ask questions, request discussion topics and build community.
