Transformational Experience
You, totally transformed
The experience you’ll have at Marquette will be nothing short of transformational. During your time here, you’ll be challenged to push your boundaries to lead and serve, to hone your mind and open your heart. You’ll develop into an agile thinker, a fearless leader, a spirited dreamer and an effective doer — fully prepared to, in the spirit of St. Ignatius and Father Jacques Marquette, go and set the world on fire.
Part of your transformational experience will come from taking on equal amounts of learning and doing. Here are some of the ways you’ll dig in:
The study abroad experience
From Madrid to Manila, Marquette sends 30% of students abroad across our 80+ partnerships around the world!
