MARIAN UNIVERSITY
Marian University grew out of the dedication and vision of Sister Theresa Hackelmeier and the Sisters of Saint Francis, Oldenburg, Indiana, who established a school in Oldenburg, Indiana, in 1851. In 1936, the school became Marian College and moved to Indianapolis in 1937. On July 1, 2009, Marian College became Marian University.
Marian University is the only Catholic University in Indianapolis and central Indiana, serving more than 5,100 students, including 4,000 undergraduate and 1,200 graduate students, earning degrees in the arts, business, education, engineering, math, medicine, nursing, ministry, and the natural and physical sciences.
Marian University strives to be a Catholic liberal arts university distinguished in its ability to educate and form transformative leaders for service to the world. We welcome students of all faiths who seek an educational experience framed within the context of our Franciscan sponsorship values—dignity of the individual, peace and justice, reconciliation, and responsible stewardship.
