Mission Statement 

Our purpose is to provide diverse adult learners with a values-based education that results in a commitment to competently, courageously and ethically apply themselves to the conscious, effective, lifelong transformation of their professional situations and personal lives.

Marquette's College of Professional Studies was established in 1993 to meet the unique educational needs of adult learners. Today, the college serves over 900 adult students annually in 8 Wisconsin counties through a variety of degree and non-degree programs.

• Adult Undergraduate Degree Bachelor's degree programs offered in 8-week increments online, in the evening and on weekends which allow adults in southeast Wisconsin to earn their undergraduate degree while they continue working.
• Continuing Education Certificate Programs Non-credit business and management seminars offered during the day and in the evenings throughout the academic year which can be taken as individual courses or applied to a Certificate in Effective Management Practices.
• Graduate Programs Master's degree programs and graduate-level certificates in Public Service designed to prepare professionals for leadership positions in public, not-for-profit and health care institutions as well as private organizations which service the public sector.
