Providing students with the support, foundational knowledge and skills they need to continue their college journeys

Who are eligible candidates for admission?

Admission to the college will be selective. We are looking for 75-125 students who have the desire to succeed, and the maturity and the motivation to persist academically in order to achieve their goals.
Eligible candidates for admission:

• Are 18-21 years old
• Have clear evidence of the grit and determination required to succeed in this unique and innovative program
• Have an interest in learning and earning and seek an academic environment conducive to that approach

Interested students should:

• Complete an admission application
• Provide a copy of their high school transcript
• Complete a personal interview upon invitation to participate

Why choose St. Joseph's College of Marian University?

Students will receive personal attention from faculty and one-on-one mentoring from professors and staff who care deeply about their success.

But we aren't stopping there.

For many students, going to college isn't possible because they need to start earning a paycheck. Before they graduate from high school, many of our students work because they need to support themselves or make regular contributions to their family income.

• Students will have a flexible class schedule that will allow them to work and earn a living wage while progressing toward an associate's degree.
• We are partnering with dozens of central Indiana employers to provide students with jobs in relevant fields and a regular paycheck throughout the two-year program.

Students may be eligible for as much as $15,000 of the $16,000 annual tuition through federal and state grants, and 21st Century Scholarships. The portion of the tuition not covered by grants can easily be paid for through the employment opportunities we will provide or minimal borrowing.
