Gregg Toppo reports for Inside Higher Ed in "Marian, Saint Joseph's to Open 2-Year College," that Marian University of Indianapolis and Saint Joseph's College of Rensselaer, IN are planning to partner in the opening of a new institution in Indianapolis. The partnership will be known as Saint Joseph's College of Marian University-Indianapolis. You can read a press release on the Saint Joseph's web site.
Saint Joseph's was founded in 1891 and operated briefly as a minor seminary from 1925-1931. Collegiate programs were added again and a full baccalaureate program was operating by the end of the decade. A second campus was opened in Calumet, IN after 1951 and evolved to become what is now Calumet College of St. Joseph. Saint Joseph's suspended classes in 2017.
Marian University was founded in 1851 as St. Francis Normal School for Women in Oldenburg, IN. It became Immaculate Conception Junior College in 1924. The institution moved to Indianapolis in 1937 and the name changed to Marian College. The name changed again to Marian University in 2009.
