Centennial Celebration of Women at Marquette

CELEBRATE 100 YEARS OF WOMEN AT MARQUETTE

In 1909, Marquette University became the first Catholic university in the world to offer co-education as part of its regular undergraduate program. Since that time, the role of women at Marquette has changed and expanded dramatically, with women now making up more than 50 percent of the student body.

During the 2009-10 school year, Marquette will celebrate the 100th anniversary of this landmark event in the university’s history. Click here to learn more about the anniversary celebration.
