College of Health Sciences

Schroeder ComplexThe human body is a fascinating thing. In the College of Health Sciences, you can explore the mysteries of the brain, analyze bodily fluids, rehabilitate injured muscles, treat speech disorders and more. Our renowned college offers a curriculum and research opportunities that few undergraduate schools can match, and you'll graduate well-prepared for a health care career, whether you jump straight into the job market or head to grad school.

MARQUETTE'S DIFFERENCE

Why wait? Even as a high school senior, you can apply for our physical therapy program and be guaranteed a spot in the three-year professional phase.

You'll work side by side with award-winning professors and get intensive lab experience that could lead to groundbreaking discoveries. You'll learn how to publish those findings and present at academic conferences.

Location is everything. You'll be near a regional medical center, hospitals, clinics, labs, a top-rated veterans' hospital and a burn center, which means you'll have extraordinary clinical and research opportunities just minutes from campus.

Pack your bags — we offer service opportunities across the globe. Aspiring physician assistants work in Belize. Bilingual Spanish-English speech pathology majors go to Mexico. Others team up with organizations such as Global Medical Relief to serve in Honduras and elsewhere. In addition to building your résumé, it's a chance to open your heart and mind to others in need.
