Marquette University acquired the Trinity Hospital Training School for Nursing and the nurses' residence in 1912. Soon after that acquisition, the nursing school became a division of higher education at Marquette and 18 students graduated in its first class. At that time, Marquette was the only university in Wisconsin to offer a three-year nursing certificate.
The School of Nursing became a constituent college of Marquette University in 1936 with a four-year collegiate program designed by the college's first dean, Dr. Berenice Beck. It operated out of St. Joseph's Hall.
Today, the College of Nursing is housed in David A. Straz, Jr. Hall. The 103,000 square foot building includes office, classroom and laboratory space. It also includes our simulation center, which provides a realistic health care environment where our students can strengthen essential competencies, develop sound clinical reasoning and prepare for high-risk situations. Since 2016, Marquette College of Nursing has also operated a satellite facility in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin for its Direct Entry Master’s in Nursing program.
