Celebrating 15 Years

With an emphasis on ethical leadership, Marquette's College of Professional Studies was established in 1996 to meet the unique educational needs of adult students. Today, the college serves adult students through a variety of degree and non-degree programs.

• Adult undergraduate degrees — organization and leadership, professional communication, criminology and law studies, psychology.  Undergraduate programs feature personalized advising, flexible scheduling (weeknight, Saturday and selected online classes) and rolling start dates with an accelerated eight-week session format.  
• Graduate degrees and certificates — leadership studies, public service, dispute resolution, law enforcement leadership and management, sports leadership. Graduate programs feature personalized advising, convenient scheduling (weeknight or Saturday classes with an online component) and a traditional 16-week semester format. 
• Future Milwaukee leadership program — Nine-month development program to enhance leadership skills, develop a deeper understanding of community issues and get practical experience in implementing community solutions. For more than 30 years, Future Milwaukee has trained adult students who are committed to creating positive change in the city. 
  
  

Over the past 15 years, the college has had an increasing impact on the community with over 640 graduates from our degree and certificate programs who live and work in Metro Milwaukee and the surrounding communities. Since the Future Milwaukee leadership program became affiliated with the college in 2005, there have been over 120 graduates who are giving back to the community.
