With a population of more than 40,000, Fond du Lac offers much to the prospecting business entrepreneur; to the couple looking for a great place to live, work, and raise a family; and to those who long to be close to nature and all that nature holds in recreational amenities.
Fond du Lac’s location places it within 60 minutes of Wisconsin’s three biggest markets — Milwaukee, Madison and Green Bay/the Fox Cities — where half of the state’s people live, work and play. It is for this reason that Fond du Lac is an important manufacturing and distribution center. Firms located here draw from a large pool of well educated and highly skilled workers.
Marian University
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaMarian University, formerly Marian College, is a four-year Roman Catholic university in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin founded in 1936 by the Sisters of Saint Agnes.
History
Marian University opened as Marian College on September 8 1936, with 17 full-time and 25 part-time students, and eight faculty. The sisters decided to start the college after the Wisconsin Department of Instruction decided that nuns were not allowed to teach in public schools while wearing their habit.
Marian became accredited to grant a bachelor’s degrees in elementary education in 1941. The first graduating class in August 1941 had eight nun graduates. The first lay graduates graduated in 1942. Marian had 86 full-time and 145 part-time students in 1950, who attended classes in a convent next to St. Agnes Hospital. Marian was founded as a women’s college, but the superintendent of Fond du Lac schools attended art and music classes with his wife in 1940. Increasing enrollment caused the college to move to its current campus in the mid 1960s. The college became coeducational in 1970.
The school became accredited by the North Central Association for a Master's of Art program in 1987. It was approved to offer a Ph.D. in leadership in 2002. The first three graduates of the doctoral program were awarded their degrees in May 2008.
On May 1, 2008, Marian College officially changed its name to Marian University to reflect an expansion of its programs and classes and to position the institution for growth .
Accreditation
Marian became affiliated with The Catholic University of America and the National Catholic Educational Association in 1949. It became accredited with the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools for teacher education in 1960.
Marian University is accredited by the North Central Association, International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education, National League for Nursing, Council on Social Work Education, National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. Marian’s curriculum has been approved by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, Wisconsin State Board of Nursing, and certified by the Wisconsin Department of Justice Law Enforcement Standards Board Training and Standards Bureau.
