National media has consistently highlighted a pressing issue: the country's need for skilled nurses across all specialties is growing much faster than the current nursing workforce can meet. Whether in emergency departments or urgent care centers, nurses play an increasingly vital role in patient treatment. Those pursuing nursing degrees develop advanced expertise in healthcare methods and technologies, along with the critical skill of addressing patients' medical, emotional, and spiritual requirements to provide top-tier, research-backed care. At Marquette, your nursing aspirations begin immediately thanks to our direct admission policy, allowing you to dive into nursing coursework from day one. Our Nurse-midwifery program—Wisconsin's sole offering of its kind—has prepared graduates who now assist families in hospitals and clinics during childbirth.
Learn from accomplished nurse educators who have made significant contributions through their work and studies in areas like preventing premature births, complementary treatments, managing chronic diseases, and improving patient outcomes through proper staffing and discharge planning. Many have also delivered care internationally. Together with advanced practice nurses, our faculty serves patients at Marquette's Neighborhood Health Center. Stand out by participating in specialized nursing study abroad opportunities in locations like Peru or Ireland.
