Marquette University

Marquette University was founded in 1881 in the rich tradition of the Society of Jesus as a small liberal arts school for men. Over the course of almost 150 years, thousands of students have passed through Marquette's halls and classrooms, with aspirations of achieving academic success and a spiritual foundation. The university follows an academically rigorous, values-centered curriculum, with students receiving a firm grounding in the liberal arts and preparation for work in a world of increasing diversity. Students get to learn from faculty whose research advances human knowledge and informs their teaching. Marquette University’s students, whether undergraduate, graduate, or professional, come to share the university’s commitment to the pursuit of excellence and join a community whose members believe that education must encompass the whole person, spiritual and moral as well as intellectual.
