TRANSFER PLANNING GUIDE: COLLEGE OF NURSING

The Marquette University College of Nursing has more than 8,000 alumni making a difference in health care every day, nationwide. Marquette nurses embody the Jesuit traditions of living lives of faith, promoting excellence, becoming leaders and serving others. As such, Marquette nursing is an integral part of the university's Catholic, Jesuit mission.

Transferring to the College of Nursing requires careful planning. Please use this guide to inform your pathway to Marquette as you register for equivalent courses at another institution.
