Citizens with Purpose
Marquette students will come away with a sense of purpose, personally and professionally, as global citizens who demonstrate critically reflective discernment processes that are rooted in one鈥檚 sense of theological, intellectual, and personal commitments.
Collaborators Promoting Equity and Justice across Cultural Contexts

They will also be able to recognize the innate human dignity shared across diverse groups and to apply skills learned in class to work within and across cultures to promote justice and equity.
Leaders in Discovery
Marquette students will advance understanding of the world by identifying significant questions and searching for answers based on a systematic process of discovery that is rooted in intellectual inquiry and the Jesuit liberal arts tradition.
Global Problem Solvers
Marquette students are well-practiced in cooperative and cross-disciplinary problem-solving skills and can present innovative solutions that draw from theological, philosophical, qualitative and quantitative perspectives to address the increasingly blurred lines between local and global challenges.
