Marillac College, Sisters' college in St. Louis, United States
Marillac College was a four-year institution in St. Louis that served religious communities and lay students. It offered programs in theology, philosophy, nursing, mathematics, optometry, English, and American studies to its diverse student body.
The college was founded in 1955 by the Daughters of Charity and named after Saint Louise de Marillac. It closed in 1974 after nearly two decades of operation.
The campus buildings, designed by Chicago architect Edo Belli, reflected the educational mission of the Daughters of Charity through their architectural features.
The campus was acquired by the University of Missouri-St. Louis in 1976 and now operates as part of that university's grounds. Visitors can explore the preserved buildings while walking through the current UMSL campus.
The college had an unusual requirement: all initial students had to be professed or novice members of religious communities. This set it apart from typical Catholic colleges of that era.
