Tuition, Cost & Aid

Affordability and Cost

Average Net Price Average net price for full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates paying the in-state or in-district tuition rate who were awarded grant or scholarship aid from federal, state or local governments, or the institution. Other sources of grant aid are excluded. Aid awarded anytime during the full aid year is included.

Average net price is generated by subtracting the average amount of federal, state or local government, or institutional grant and scholarship aid from the total cost of attendance. Total cost of attendance is the sum of published tuition and required fees (lower of in-district or in-state), books and supplies and the weighted average room and board and other expenses.

Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation. For some institutions the # of students by living arrangement will be known, but dollar amounts will not be known. In this case the # of students with no corresponding dollar amount will be excluded from the denominator.

What Students Are Saying

This school has really good advisors and teachers. They try their hardest to make everything work out and easier for a student in any possible way. They always have office hours, or even not office hours, where you can just go and talk to them if you have a problem or just wanna chat. Moreover, there are great and nice people here that are friendly and carefree. This college has a very relaxing environment. Yes, there is some drama, but no matter where one goes there will always be some. Furthermore, there are tutors and a writing or help center where one can go if he/she is having trouble with classes, and there are always places to go if one needs to get away from the stress of school to hang with friends.

Worth all the sacrifice.

Most students get a scholarship of some sort so it becomes a lot more affordable for many students.
I also think its a good deal because I learned a lot and ended up using al of the resources that they gave me for the math class to help me.
Just being there, even though I haven't been there a lot, is amazing, everyone is so friendly and it's like I was welcomed home the first time I stepped foot on campus. Which, to me, is very important when you're going to be away from your friends and family.
Allison from Pleasant Prairie, WI
I love this school. No matter where you go, you cannot find professors who care like this that will put the time into your education to ensure that you are learning. The focus on critical thinking is very effective for life- this school not only teaches the cirriculum, but life skills.

Marian University is known for their nursing program and the quality of nurses that they put out into the health care field. Whenever I tell other health care professionals that I attend Marian University, they are impressed. It is a well known school for nursing. For a four-year university I would say that it is the best in the area for a private university education. Marian University also offers a variety of free programs to the students. Free printing is a major thing that I have taken advantage of over the years. Tutoring and counseling are also available. Marian is also great at meeting your learning needs, recently I learned that you can take your textbooks in and they can convert your whole textbook to a audio file so you can listen to your books as well.
