Marquette + Milwaukee. Together since 1881.

Our home is Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a large Midwestern city on the shores of Lake Michigan, located just a 90-minute drive north of Chicago. The lakefront is a short walk from campus and boasts a renowned art museum, festival grounds, parks and popular beaches.

St. Joan of Arc Chapel

In the heart of Marquette’s campus is St. Joan of Arc Chapel, a small stone chapel built in the Gothic style of medieval France. Surrounded by tulips and plantings on Marquette’s Central Mall, the chapel has a storied history and has become an iconic structure on campus since it was moved to Marquette and opened in 1966. The chapel hosts regular Masses and is popular with members of the Marquette community.
