Marquette University

Marquette was founded in 1540 by St. Ignatius Loyola. The university is named after Rev. Jacques Marquette, S.J. (1637-75), a French missionary and explorer in North America.

• Marquette's undergraduate programs include 83 majors and 78 minors; pre-professional programs in dentistry, law and medicine; and undergraduate programs for working adults.
• Marquette has 66 doctoral and master's degree programs, 18 graduate certificate programs, and a School of Dentistry and Law School.
• Marquette offers unique opportunities — from our honors to our study abroad programs to the Les Aspin Center for Government in Washington, D.C., to summer programs and more.

The university supports research through several programs: three-year Way Klingler fellowships, sabbaticals for junior faculty and the Lawrence G. Haggerty Faculty Award for Research Excellence.
