| School mission: | As Wisconsin's largest private university, Marquette offers endless opportunities: the chance to live, study and play in the heart of a dynamic city; nationally known programs and powerhouse faculty; a Catholic, Jesuit tradition that emphasizes ethics and lifelong values. For more than 125 years, we have inspired students to Be The Difference in their professional and personal lives. Our students tell us that a Marquette education is worth the investment, and we're proud to be one of the lowest-cost private colleges among U.S. News and World Report's top 100 national universities. More than 11,000 students come from all 50 states and more than 75 countries to explore options ranging from intense undergraduate studies to specialized graduate and professional programs. The University Core of Common Studies is the intellectual heart of a Marquette undergraduate education, built on our Jesuit tradition and designed for successful life in the 21st century. Based on this foundation in nine essential knowledge areas, students can then take advantage of dozens of majors offered through the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Communication, Education, Engineering, Health Sciences, Nursing and Professional Studies. At the graduate level, Marquette has Wisconsin's only dental school as well as a nationally ranked Law School, Graduate School and Graduate School of Management. Marquette's location just west of downtown Milwaukee provides easy access to internship and job opportunities with government agencies, small businesses, Fortune 500 companies and nonprofit institutions. Students can also take advantage of entertainment venues ranging from the Lake Michigan shoreline to the performing arts, ethnic and fine dining, professional sports and an active nightlife. Marquette also sponsors the Les Aspin Center in Washington, D.C., with coursework in the center's classrooms and internships on Capitol Hill and in federal agencies. Of course, students can also study anywhere in the world, with programs on six continents. You won't be bored at Marquette. Some 250 student organizations cover just about any interest, from club sports to student government, from service activities to musical and theater groups, from sororities and fraternities to student government. As a member of the BIG EAST conference, Marquette fields 14 varsity sports teams, making Milwaukee one of the nation's five best college basketball towns according to CNN Visit today to discover if Marquette is right for you. |
