The landscape of higher education is shifting, and many institutions are facing new economic and social pressures. Marquette’s path for success amid these challenges will be formed by our mission, and we will be guided by the wisdom of our lived experience. To address the world’s most pressing problems requires Marquette to develop and support ethical, visionary leaders who work for justice and inspire others to work toward a hope-filled future. By remaining committed to our mission, vision and values, we will endure these challenges and thrive because of them.
True to our Jesuit heritage, we affirm the tremendous value of an education grounded in the liberal arts — that is our commitment to forming thoughtful leaders with the knowledge and passion needed to transform the world. We likewise celebrate the depth and breadth of our undergraduate, graduate and professional academic programs, which are built on a centuries-old Jesuit tradition of educational excellence and led by exceptional faculty and staff who have a deep sense of mission and a resolute commitment to student well-being.
Over the next seven years, we will advance our strategic priorities, positioning us to flourish as we seek to be one of the most innovative and accomplished Catholic and Jesuit universities in the world. Rooted in our Catholic faith and spirit of innovation, this aspirational, actionable plan reflects Marquette’s commitment to forming students capable of responding to the needs of a diverse, dynamic world. We will encourage students to discern how they are called in their personal and professional lives to work on behalf of reconciliation and justice.
