Welcome to the Klingler College of Arts and Sciences.  Central to all of our activities is a commitment to the mission of the University, “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.”

We begin a new academic year with the expectation of renewed promise and transformation.  This fall we welcomed more than 600 freshmen who will be engaged in an increasingly rapidly changing world, in which new challenges and opportunities will require skills and understanding from multiple academic disciplines.  The college’s educational offerings are robust; home to over 30 undergraduate majors and 13 academic departments.  I invite you to explore our department websites to learn more about the offerings of each program.

Our faculty have received high honors in research and teaching excellence and our newest faculty members come from renowned institutions, ready to share their knowledge and research. 

The search for a new dean is underway and as our President Scott R. Pilarz, S.J., affirms, “The Helen Way Klingler College of Arts and Sciences is central to our academic enterprise and mission. In this search, we see an opportunity to gain an academic leader committed to excellence,…“We are approaching this hire in a way that is thoughtful, deliberate and inclusive. We will aggressively recruit candidates who aspire to lead Marquette's liberal arts and sciences, which has been the core of what Jesuit education has been about since the 16th century.”

I invite you to visit us to see first-hand the excitement of our college activities and look forward to welcoming you personally to the Klingler College of Arts and Sciences at Marquette University.

Sincerely,

Philip J. Rossi, S.J.,
Interim Dean, Klingler College of Arts and Sciences
Professor of Theology
