K-12 Pathways Program

Igniting pathways for K-12 students

The Marian University Pathways Program empowers the next generation of scholars through engaging K–12 experiences, enriching youth programs, and inspiring summer camps.

By offering inclusive, high-quality programs on Marian’s historic campus, we open doors to discovery, growth, and lifelong learning.

We spark curiosity, foster confidence, and create opportunities for youth to see themselves as future scholars and leaders.
