CAMPUS SUMMARY
Marquette University is a Catholic, co-educational, Jesuit university, founded in 1881, and named after Father Jacques Marquette, a French Jesuit missionary and New World explorer of the Upper Mississippi River and the Milwaukee region in the 1600s. The University is dedicated to serving God by serving its students and contributing to the advancement of knowledge. Its mission, therefore, is the search for truth, the discovery and sharing of knowledge, the fostering of personal and professional excellence, the promotion of a life of faith, and the development of leadership expressed in service to others.

Marquette University has a campus of approximately 80 acres and 51 buildings located in downtown Milwaukee, the nation's 17th largest city, and about a mile west of Lake Michigan. Marquette is not a typical urban university. An eighty acre campus with grass and trees, an outdoor athletic complex, and a nationally and internationally diverse, residential student body all combine to make Marquette a unique, close-knit community in which you can live and learn.


UNIQUE/SPECIAL PROGRAMS
For more than 450 years, Jesuit education has been synonymous with academic excellence. At its heart is a rigorous core curriculum. All Marquette undergraduates take a combination of courses in philosophy, speech, literature, history, mathematics and theology. The core provides a foundation of skills -- the ability to think critically, ask the right questions, formulate and support an argument, communicate clearly, and act with moral integrity -- that will serve you the rest of your life.

"A Marquette education won't teach you what to think. It will teach you how to think."
