Unifying Mission
Everything we do is
part of something bigger
At Marquette, our mission shapes our actions and gives meaning to their outcomes. United by our mission, we work side by side to make the world a better place.
Mission, guiding values
Marquette University is a Catholic, Jesuit university dedicated to serving God by serving our students and contributing to the advancement of knowledge. Our mission, therefore, is 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. All this we pursue for the greater glory of God and the common benefit of the human community.
You’ll often hear these four pillars of our mission spoken together:
- Excellence
- Faith
- Leadership
- Service
Men and women with and for others
In all our programs, we strive to develop men and women who will dedicate their lives to the service of others, and who will play an active role in creating a more just society. We expect everyone at Marquette, regardless of their faith tradition, to give in some way to those in need.
Cura Personalis
It’s a Latin term that means care for the whole person. It also means you'll be cared for as an individual here, whatever challenges you face.
