The cost of a college education can be expensive, but we think it's a worthwhile one. That's why more than 90 percent of first-year students receive financial aid in the form of scholarships, grants and low-interest loans.
Knowing where your money goes and how the university operates is paramount to understanding the true value of a Marquette education. Working together with our students, we've compiled some key data and laid it out in an accessible, transparent and easy-to-read guide.
Questions? We're just a call, email, snail-mail or tweet away. You can also stop by our office in Zilber Hall to say hello. We can't wait to hear from you!
Community. At Marquette, that word doesn’t just refer to the bustling scene on Wisconsin Avenue or the latest episode of alumnus Danny Pudi’s show on NBC. Our community extends across multiple social media channels, places for prospective students, current students and alumni to interact.
There are two biology majors at Marquette: biological sciences (biology) and biology for the professions. The biology major lives at the leading edge of science, using the latest technology to explore molecular medicine, ecology and the environment, genetic regulation of plant and animal development, microbial physiology, and cell dynamics and motility.
All Marquette biological sciences majors take at least three courses taught entirely in the lab by a professor, not teaching assistants — an opportunity few national research universities give their undergraduate biology majors.
As an undergraduate biology major, you'll have the opportunity to work in a research lab — on your own projects — under the guidance of your faculty mentor. And you can also present your findings at regional or national conferences.
One of the strengths of the biological sciences major is its flexibility. Concentrate on the body by taking courses from molecular biology to system physiology or take a different approach by studying ecology, plant biology and microbiology.
This second major is for students in the College of Education who want to teach high school biology. It's designed for middle and secondary school teaching.
How about working in a real biology lab? Marquette offers a 10-week summer program where you can do exciting research — in areas such as microbiology, developmental biology, cell biology, molecular biology, plant biology, neurobiology and vertebrate physiology — and get paid for it.
