Mission

The mission of the College of Nursing emerges from the mission of the University to provide a rigorous liberal education grounded in Judeo-Christian ideals and disciplined in the Jesuit tradition.  Marquette University nursing students are prepared for lives of faith, service, and leadership. Students are educated to promote the worth of all persons, to assure professional competence, to respect the pursuit for truth, and to uphold a high standard of personal integrity.  Faculty members recognize their central responsibilities as influencing health, health care, and health care policy through quality instructional programs, generation and dissemination of nursing knowledge, active involvement in the community and the profession, and collaborative endeavors.  Faculty members recognize caring as essential for preparation for professional nursing practice. This preparation includes liberal and professional knowledge; clinical, cognitive, and leadership skills; and personal and professional values. Excellence characterizes the work of students and faculty of the College of Nursing.
