Marquette University /mɑːrˈkɛt/ is a private, coeducational Catholic university located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the central United States. Established by the Society of Jesus as Marquette College on August 28, 1881, it was founded by John Martin Henni, the first Bishop of Milwaukee.[5]

The university was named after 17th century missionary and explorer Father Jacques Marquette, with the intention to provide an affordable Catholic education to the area's emerging German immigrant population.[5] Initially an all-male institution, Marquette became the first coed Catholic university in the world in 1909, when it began admitting its first female students.[6]

Marquette is one of 28 member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. The university is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and currently has a student body of about 12,000.[7] Marquette is one of the largest Jesuit universities in the United States, and the largest private university in Wisconsin.[8]

Marquette is organized into 11 schools and colleges at its main Milwaukee campus, offering programs in the liberal arts, business, communications, education, engineering, law and various health sciences disciplines.[7] The university also administers classes in suburbs around the Milwaukee area and in Washington, DC. While most students are pursuing undergraduate degrees, the university has over 50 doctoral and master's degree programs and 37 graduate certificate programs.[7] The university's varsity athletic teams, known as the Golden Eagles, are members of the Big East Conference and compete in the NCAA's Division I in all sports.[4] In 2014, U.S. News & World Report ranked Marquette 75th among national universities. Forbes ranked Marquette 87th among American research universities in 2013.[2]

History

Father Jacques Marquette,
the university's namesake

Marquette College

Marquette University was founded 135 years ago on August 28, 1881 as Marquette College by John Martin Henni, the first Catholic bishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.[9] With funding from Belgian businessman Guillaume Joseph DeBuey,[10] the university was named after 17th century missionary and explorer Father Jacques Marquette. The highest priority of the newly established college was to provide an affordable Catholic education to the area's emerging German immigrant population. The first five graduates of Marquette College received their bachelor of arts degrees in 1887.[6] Between 1891 and 1906, the college employed one full-time lay professor, with many classes being taught by master's students.[11] By 1906, Marquette had awarded 186 students the bachelor of arts, 38 the Master of Arts, and one student with a bachelor of science.[12]

Marquette University

Marquette College officially became a university in 1907, after it became affiliated with a local medical school, and moved to its present location. Johnston Hall, which now houses the university's College of Communication, was the first building erected on the new campus grounds.[6] Marquette University High School, formerly the preparatory department of the university, became a separate institution the same year. In 1908, Marquette opened an engineering college and purchased two law schools, which would ultimately become the foundation of its current law program. Initially an all-male institution, Marquette University became the first coed Catholic university in the world, when it admitted its first female students in 1909.[6] By 1916 its female students had increased to 375; many other Catholic institutions began adopting similar approaches in their enrollments during the 1910s and 1920s.[13]

Marquette acquired the Wisconsin College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1913, leading to the formation of the Marquette University School of Medicine. During the 1920s and again during the post-World War II years, Marquette rapidly expanded, opening a new library, athletics facilities, classroom buildings and residence halls. The student population increased markedly as well, met by the construction of buildings for the schools of law, business, dentistry and the liberal arts.[6] Marquette is credited with offering the first degree program specializing in hospital administration in the United States, and graduated the first two students in 1927.[14] Despite the promising growth of the university, financial constraints led to the School of Medicine separating from Marquette in 1967 to become the Medical College of Wisconsin.[15] Marquette's Golden Avalanche football team was disbanded in December 1960,[16][17][18][19] and basketball became the leading spectator sport at the university.[20]

1970s – present

Graduate programs in the liberal arts and sciences, for which planning had begun in the preceding decade, were officially opened in the 1970s.[6] In 1977, the university celebrated the victory of their men's basketball team over the University of North Carolina to win the NCAA Championship title.[21]

In 1994, then-President Albert J. DiUlio made a controversial decision to discontinue the use of the "Warriors" nickname for the university's sports teams, citing growing pressure on schools to end the use of Native American mascots.[22] Backlash from alumni, donors and students ensued, though the administration and Marquette community eventually settled on the nickname, "Golden Eagles." The mascot controversy again boiled over in 2005 when the university's leadership briefly changed the nickname to "the Gold," only to return to the "Golden Eagles" a week later.[22]

During the 1990s, the university invested heavily in the neighborhood surrounding Marquette with its $50 million Campus Circle Project. It also opened a Washington, D.C.-based study center called the Les Aspin Center for Government, named after the former Secretary of Defense. MBA programs and the College of Professional Studies, with programs aimed at adult education, were also founded during the mid-1990s. In 1996, Robert A. Wild was installed as the university's 22nd president and shortly thereafter began a fundraising campaign that culminated in a major campus beautification effort and the construction of several major buildings, including a new space for the School of Dentistry.[6] The university's growth was also marked by increases in overall enrollment and the highest tests scores for incoming freshmen to date.[6]

In the early 2000s, Marquette continued to grow, with new residence halls, a library, a School of Dentistry building and athletics facilities. In 2003, the men's basketball team reached the Final Four, boosting the university's exposure on a national level.[6] Fundraising efforts in the subsequent years helped the university complete its largest-ever capital campaign, the Magis Campaign, which raised over $357 million by 2006.[6]

The two largest donations to Marquette University came within the same academic year. The second-largest gift was given by an anonymous couple who have, over time, donated over $50 million to the university. On December 18, 2006, President Wild announced that the couple donated $25 million to the College of Engineering.[23] Less than five months later, on May 4, 2007, Marquette announced a $51 million gift from Raymond and Kathryn Eckstein that will directly benefit the Marquette University School of Law. The gift is currently the largest amount ever given to a Wisconsin university.[24]

During the Fall 2013 semester, former Marquette president Robert A. Wild returned to Marquette University as interim president following the resignation of his successor and 22nd president of Marquette, Scott Pilarz.[25] Dr. Michael R. Lovell, the former chancellor of the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, took over as president on July 1, 2014, following Wild's interim term. Lovell is the first layperson to serve as Marquette's president, as all previous presidents of the university were Catholic clergymen.[26]

Controversies

On May 16, 1968, African-American students withdrew from Marquette University in a protest against what they called its “institutional racism.” The students were demanding the immediate hiring of an African-American administrator. A rally at the student union culminated in the arrest of seven persons who refused to leave the building after closing. On May 17, Marquette moved toward the hiring of an African-American administrator to end the campus protest.[27][28][29]

In April 2010, Marquette University offered a position as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences to Jodi O'Brien, a highly respected and openly lesbian professor with sterling credentials at another Jesuit university, Seattle University. On May 2, Marquette rescinded the offer over concerns about her scholarly writing as it related to Catholic teaching. O'Brien had published works on lesbian sex and same-sex marriage. Several faculty members at Marquette said the decision raised concerns about academic freedom. Faculty and students from both universities protested Marquette's decision.[30][31]

On June 21, 2011, a 19-year-old Marquette student reported being raped by an athlete. No report was taken by university officers and the city police were not notified. Marquette University acknowledged that failing to notify police was a violation of state law and that the university had ignored its reporting obligations for 10 years. In at least two cases, the lapse played a role in prosecutors declining to press charges.[32] Marquette had held an administrative hearing on another sexual assault allegation in January 2011. But by the time the report was filed with police, too much time had elapsed to conduct a proper investigation.[33] In 2016, independent research from The State of Education deemed Marquette University as the least sexually healthy college in the nation.[34]

In the fall of 2014 an undergraduate student disagreed with the manner in which a teaching assistant dealt with the topic of gay rights. After class, the student recorded a conversation with the TA in which the TA stated that she would not tolerate homophobic, racist, or sexist comments in class.[35] After attempting to take the issue to the university, the student claimed to be shut out and told his academic professor, John McAdams, who blogged about it on his personal blog.[36] McAdams was put on suspension for refusing to apologize for his blog post,[37] earning MU a spot on the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education's 2016 "10 Worst Colleges for Free Speech".[38]

Academics

The university includes 11 schools and colleges: Helen Way Klingler College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business Administration, J. William and Mary Diederich College of Communication, College of Education, College of Engineering, College of Health Sciences, College of Nursing, College of Professional Studies, Graduate School, Marquette University School of Dentistry, and Marquette University Law School. Marquette's largest college by enrollment is the Helen Way Klingler College of Arts and Sciences.[39]

Campus

John P. Raynor Library

Marquette is located on a 93-acre (38 ha) campus in the near downtown Milwaukee neighborhood of University Hill, on the former Wisconsin State Fairgrounds. Lake Michigan is roughly one mile east of the edge of campus. The campus stretches 12 blocks east to west and 5 blocks north to south. Wisconsin Avenue, a major thoroughfare in Milwaukee, bisects the campus, placing academic buildings on the south side, and residence halls and other offices and buildings on the north side.[54] Named after the university, the Marquette Interchange, where Interstate Highways 43 and 94 intersect, is also close to campus.[55][56]

Outside of the main campus, Marquette also operates an athletics facility called Valley Fields, which is home to stadiums for the track and field, lacrosse and soccer teams. Located in the Menomonee Valley, the facility sits along the banks of the Menomonee River, about one mile south of the main Marquette University campus.[57] The university also owns property in Washington, D.C., which houses its Les Aspin Center for Government, a program designed for students interested in careers in public service.[58] The Marquette College of Business Administration hosts off-campus graduate classes in Waukesha and Kohler, Wisconsin, though it does not own these classroom properties.[59][60]

In 2016, Marquette University's College of Nursing opened a satellite campus in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin for the blended Direct Entry MSN program, where students complete coursework online and spend time on campus learning skills and participating in simulation labs.

Marquette's 11,749 students come from all 50 states, various U.S. territories, and represent more than 65 countries. 8,293 of these students are undergraduates, while the university's graduate and professional student population is numbered at 3,456.[63] 29 percent of undergraduate students are from Wisconsin, and 37 percent come from Illinois.[64] Marquette University also has a moderate number of law students and dental students.

The student body is 53 percent female,[63] and 68 percent identify themselves as Catholic.[64] The retention rate for Marquette is high, with about 90% of students returning for their sophomore year.[65]

Marquette administers an Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), a federally funded TRIO program that is intended to motivate and enable low-income and first generation students, whose parents do not have a baccalaureate degree, to enter and succeed in higher education. Eligible students, who potential for success and enroll at Marquette, are provided with a pre-enrollment summer program, a network of supportive services, financial aid assistance, academic counseling, specialized courses, seminars, tutoring and educational and career counseling.[66]

Residence halls

The M. Carpenter Tower

Throughout the years, Marquette has absorbed many existing buildings in the area, especially for use as residence halls. Some examples of absorbed buildings include Charles Cobeen Hall, a former hotel, and M. Carpenter Tower, an Art Deco building, both constructed in the 1920s on 11th Street that have been converted into undergraduate residence halls. Glenn Humphrey Hall, a student residence hall that prior to the 2015-16 school year served as a university apartment building, was once the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. David Straz Tower, formerly the Downtown Milwaukee YMCA, is now a residence hall, recreation center and administrative office building. Mashuda Hall, a sophomore dorm, was once the Coach House Motor Inn, where The Beatles stayed during their tour in 1964.[67] Abbottsford Hall served as The Abbottsford Hotel until the university purchased it for use as graduate apartments. It was converted into a freshman residence hall for the 2005–2006 academic year. The university also purchased the Marquette Apartments complex in 2008, and it was remodeled as a sophomore residence hall, renamed McCabe Hall, for the 2009–2010 academic year.[68] As of the 2015-16 academic year, McCabe Hall is now university apartments.[69]

Of the nine current student residence halls, only three (O'Donnell Hall, Schroeder Hall and McCormick Hall) were originally built by the university.

Athletics

The Golden Eagle is Marquette's mascot and the school colors are Marquette Blue and Marquette Gold,[3] with powder blue incorporated in the 1970s and late 2000s. Marquette is a Division I member of the NCAA and competes in the Big East Conference. The university has 11 varsity teams: basketball, cross-country, men's golf, soccer, track & field, tennis and women's volleyball. In 2013, Marquette will begin competition in varsity men's and women's lacrosse as a member of the Big East. Football was discontinued by the university after the 1960 season for financial reasons.[16][17][18][19] Since joining the Big East in 2005, the Golden Eagles have won conference championships in men's basketball, men's golf, women's soccer, men's and women's track & field and men's lacrosse. Marquette's athletic rivals include Syracuse,[70] Cincinnati,[71] DePaul,[72] Louisville,[73] Notre Dame,[74] and Wisconsin.[75] In 2009, because of Marquette, Milwaukee was named by CNN as one of America's great college basketball towns.[76]

Mascot and nickname

Marquette's intercollegiate athletic teams were the "Warriors" from May 1954 to July 1994 when the nickname was changed to the "Golden Eagles", on the grounds that previous logos had been disrespectful to Native Americans. The football team was known as "Golden Avalanche" through its final season in 1960, and other teams were known as "Warriors," "Blue and Gold," and "Hilltoppers".[77] The Marquette Warriors (the nickname that preceded Golden Eagles) won the NCAA basketball championship in 1977.[78] In 2004, Marquette began to consider changing the name back to Warriors, but instead the Board of Trustees changed the nickname to simply "Gold". An intensely negative reaction by students, faculty, alumni, and fans led to yet another series of votes, which eventually pitted "Golden Eagles" against "Hilltoppers". Respondents were told in advance that write-in votes for "Warriors" would not be tabulated, although those results were later released, and "Golden Eagles" was restored in June 2005.[78][79]

Clubs and organizations

Gesu Church, a Jesuit church on campus

The university has more than 230 student organizations in various fields of interest. This includes Phi Beta Kappa, an academic honors society for arts and sciences students; Alpha Sigma Nu, an international Jesuit honor society, founded at Marquette in 1915; and Psi Chi. Marquette has over 20 student organizations dedicated to community service and/or social awareness. Some of these include Big Brothers Big Sisters, Gay Straight Alliance, Engineers Without Borders, and Empowerment.[80] Marquette's on-campus security is composed of the Department of Public Safety and Student Safety Program employees.[81][82] Students on campus use services provided by the two organizations, including the LIMO program, an entirely student staffed transportation service, which is the first of its kind in the country.[83]

Greek life

Marquette University is host to 23 Greek organizations and, as of 2009, 10% of the total undergraduate student body is active in Greek life.[84] Sororities are slightly more popular than fraternities, with 11.7% of the female student population involved in Greek life, compared to 7.45% of men.[85] As of 2012, Alpha Phi was Marquette's largest sorority and Kappa Sigma the largest fraternity.[86] Currently, the all-Greek grade point average is higher than the all-university average, and members of Marquette Greek organizations contributed over 5,200 hours of volunteer service to the community during the 2010-11 academic year.[87]

The international engineering sorority Alpha Omega Epsilon was founded at Marquette on November 13, 1983.[88]

Student government

Marquette University Student Government (MUSG) serves as the official voice of the student body to university administration, promotes and sponsors campus events, and supports other student organizations.[89] MUSG was formerly known as the Associated Students of Marquette University (ASMU).

Performing arts

Acting and comedy

Among the various stage performance groups at Marquette are the Studio 013 Refugees, a student improv comedy group. The Refugees perform free shows throughout the year, including a 12-hour outdoor show on campus, and they provide workshops on improv comedy.[90] The Marquette University Players Society ("MUPS") is a platform for student-produced theater and performs in a traditional theater setting. In addition to acting, MUPS members also work as stage managers, designers, technicians, ticket sellers and marketing personnel.[91]

Vocal and Dance

The Marquette University Chorus, the longest standing choral organization on campus, is a mixed choir of fifty to sixty men and women who share their time, talents, and passion for music with others at Marquette and throughout the community.[92] There are also Men's Choir, Women's Choir, or Chamber Choir. Marquette also has a Gospel Choir, and Liturgical Choir, which sings weekly at mass at Gesu. There are three selective a cappella groups that interested students may try out for: the coed Gold 'n Blues,[93] the all-male Naturals,[94] and the all-female Meladies.[95] Although the a cappella groups are not affiliated with the Marquette University Music Department, the groups do on and off campus concerts.

Pure Dance is a lyrical and jazz performance group that helps members pursue their interests in dance and choreography in a collegial setting. Dance, Inc. is a group that allows its members to perform in semester showcases, and styles of dance vary.[96] Hype Dance company is primarily a hip-hop organization that helps to cultivate an interest in hip-hop, contemporary and jazz style dance.[97]

Instrumental

The Marquette University Symphony Orchestra provides members with an opportunity to develop and share musical talents through participation in a large-group setting.[98] There are also several band ensembles that students may join. The Symphonic Band is a group designed for students who wish to continue to make music at the collegiate level, but in a relaxed setting. There is also the newly established Wind Ensemble, a band which performs high-level wind band repertoire. There are also two jazz bands. Students who are registered and participate actively in the Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble have the opportunity to participate in the MU Pep Band. The Pep Band plays at all men's and women's basketball home games, continuing on during tournament season, when the bands travel with the basketball teams.[98]

Student media

The student newspaper, The Marquette Tribune, founded in 1916, is the official campus newspaper.[99] It is published in print on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school year. The paper has won multiple regional and national awards for excellence from the Society of Professional Journalists.[100][101] While most of the 40-person staff are journalism majors, students from varying fields of study write for the paper. A quarterly student produced magazine, the Marquette Journal, focuses on student life, though formerly the Journal was the school's student literary magazine. Like The Marquette Tribune the Journal has won awards from the Society of Professional Journalists[102]

Marquette Radio and MUTV, the student radio and television stations, were launched in the late-1960s to mid-1970s. MUTV airs student-produced programs, including newscasts, sports shows, and entertainment shows. Marquette Radio also airs student-produced shows with focuses on music, sports, news, and talk. Hilltop was Marquette's university-wide yearbook from 1915 to 1999. The publication, in its 84 years of existence, totaled over 30,000 pages in 82 volumes. Students' color-plate sketches were often highly detailed, humorous or dramatic, and appropriate examples of contemporary artwork. In April 2006, Marquette's librarians completed a digitally-archived collection of Hilltop.[103]

School songs

Marquette University spirescape

The school songs, "The Marquette University Anthem" and the "Marquette University Fight Song," are generally sung by students and alumni during basketball games, accompanied by the pep band. However, the former is often played using the carillon bells of the Marquette Hall bell tower.[104] "The Marquette University Anthem," as it was originally known, is now referred to almost exclusively as "Hail Alma Mater." The tune was written by Liborius Semmann, a music teacher from Wisconsin.

The Fight Song is more commonly referred to as "Ring Out Ahoya," although the actual meaning of the word "Ahoya" is open to a great deal of debate. One leading theory is that the call of "Ahoya" was often made by sailors on the Potomac river while passing Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., hence Georgetown getting its nickname of "Hoyas." The cheer was then relayed from priests and professors moving between the two Jesuit universities. The lur horn or long tuba of the modern pep band sounds a traditional ship's signal during the "Ring Out Ahoya". Origin by this Celtic long tuba player is "Buailim a Hora? Hoig a Marquette!"
