Non-Traditional and Adult Students

As an adult student, you might feel apprehensive about fitting in with younger freshmen, but one day on campus will calm those fears.

• We are proud of our welcoming, friendly, and inclusive atmosphere.
• At Marian University students of all ages become part of an established community of learning. It’s a sense of belonging that ties our alumni to each other and the university long after graduation.
• One of our Franciscan values is dignity of the individual—a concept that forms our culture of learning from each other as well as with each other.

If it’s been a few years since you graduated from high school, you might have some questions about how to apply to Marian University. Here are some common concerns:

• What are the admission requirements for non-traditional or adult students?
• What does the application process for non-traditional or adult students look like?
• How can I pay for college as a non-traditional or adult student? 

As you go through the process, if you find you have further questions or would like to talk to someone in the Office of Admission, please contact us.
