How to Succeed in Business
Downtown Milwaukee

The actions of the few can have a profound impact on the many — for good and for bad. One of the places where that has become most evident is the business world. Recent improprieties have shaken the confidence of consumers and employees, even for the vast majority whose companies play by the rules. Now, more than ever, the world demands business professionals who are not only good at what they do, but who conduct themselves ethically.

Brick; A Strong Foundation

THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

ETHICS? ALWAYS. “Ethics and integrity are critical skills being catered to…” (2002-03 Recruiting Trends, Michigan State University). Marquette was talking about business ethics decades before it became fashionable to do so. Since 1910, we’ve been offering a values-based business education built upon a foundation of the liberal arts — especially philosophy and theology.

MEET A MENTOR. When you participate in our one-on-one mentoring program in your junior year, you’ll be paired with an executive from a Milwaukee-area firm. The mentors, who are Marquette alumni and friends, can provide you with valuable insights into career choices, business etiquette and your own job search — and they can help you start your career network.

A STRONG FOUNDATION. A cross-disciplinary business curriculum will teach you the skills, knowledge and perspectives businesses expect. Add to this a series of business leadership courses designed to make you a better communicator, team player and leader, and you will have a strong base upon which to build your career.

STUDY BUSINESS IN THE HEART OF THE CITY. Our location in downtown Milwaukee lets you not only see, but also do business up close through hundreds of internships.
