Marian
College of Fond du Lac is a Catholic
co-educational liberal arts college
whose first commitment is to the
education of the whole person.
Founded in 1936 by the Congregation
of the Sisters of Saint Agnes as a
school for teacher education, Marian
now offers more than forty major
fields of study.
Success in college is a blend of
academics, real-world experience,
and extracurricular and social
activities. Our students enjoy a
strong education that is enhanced by
both the Marian College and Fond du
Lac communities. Whether you are one
of our 450 on-campus resident
students or one of the 700 students
who live off-campus, Marian is an
exciting place for you. Active
fraternities and sororities,
academic clubs in nearly every area,
volunteer service groups, and
special interest clubs are
extracurricular and social outlets
for Marian students on-campus. You
can also participate in NCAA
Division III athletic programs and
intramural sports, theatre or Sabre
Show musical performances, and
coffeehouse entertainment.
Off-campus, Marian College students
live where others vacation! On the
southern shore of Lake Winnebago,
Fond du Lac is a safe and secure
community offering the benefits of a
larger city with the feel of a small
town. From malls to movie theatres
and fast food to fishing, Marian
students enjoy living in the city
some Lottery officials call "the
luckiest in the world."
