The Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine is the medical school of Marian University in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was the first osteopathic medical school to open at a Roman Catholic university.[4]

Founded in 2010, the college is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association's Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA).[5][3] Medical graduates of the college receive a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.).[3][6]

Campus

The college shares a 140,000-square-foot building, called the Michael A. Evans Center for Health Sciences, with the Marian University School of Nursing, which is located on the southeast region of campus.[3]

History

Marian University opened its College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2010, with funding by a $48 million donation from Michael Evans, the CEO of Indianapolis-based AIT Laboratories.[7] The college opened as the second medical school in the state of Indiana. The inaugural class of 162 students began courses in August 2013.[8]
