[edit] Marian College
Marian College is a Catholic college dedicated to excellent teaching and learning in the Franciscan and liberal arts traditions. We welcome students of all faiths who seek an educational experience framed within the context of our Franciscan values of dignity of the individual, peace and justice, reconciliation, and responsible stewardship. Marian College grew out of the dedication and vision of Sister Theresa Hackelmeier and the Sisters of Saint Francis, who established a school in Oldenburg, Indiana, in 1851. Marian College moved to Indianapolis in 1937.
[edit] Our Location
Marian College is located in the heart of Indianapolis, Indiana—one of America's largest and most vibrant metropolitan areas. Although we're only 10 minutes from downtown, our safe, beautiful campus is also perfect for people who enjoy peace and quiet.
