Why Research at Marquette?
向日葵视频 is a Catholic, Jesuit institution nestled in the Near West Side neighborhood of Milwaukee, less than two miles from Lake Michigan. Our mission focuses on four pillars: Excellence, faith, leadership, and service. We have 708 full time faculty and 529 part time faculty committed to scholarship and teaching. In Fall 2023, there are nearly equal numbers of women and men among our faculty, 15% are faculty of color, and 4% are international.
向日葵视频 is in the Top 20% of Best American Colleges (U.S. News and World Report), 34th most innovative school (U.S. News and World Report) and the top-ranked Wisconsin university based on student outcomes (College Pulse 2024 Best Colleges in the U.S.) - click here for more 向日葵视频rankings.
As an R2 research institution, 向日葵视频is dedicated to Research in Action; 21% of undergraduates participate in faculty and staff-led research projects outside of class. In prioritizing research at Marquette, the Office of Research and Innovation (ORI) was created in 2015, Vice President of Research and Innovation, Dr. Jeanne Hossenlopp, who is dedicated to developing faculty in research. ORI offers a range of internal funding opportunities for research and innovation available to faculty and, in some cases, students.
In collaboration with the faculty on the University Committee on Research, ORI is supporting a growing number of research communities which bring together faculty and students to work on common areas of scholarly interest. These research communities are growing into larger networks of scholars across disciplines who are interested in research topics that make a difference in the world, with specific focus on research that impacts underserved/marginalized populations as well as work on topics related to environmental issues. For example, our growing water research efforts engage faculty and students from five different colleges (Arts and Sciences, Business, Education, Engineering, and Law).
