Marquette University (/mɑːrˈkɛt/) is a private Jesuit research university in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. It was established as Marquette College on August 28, 1881, by John Henni, the first Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.[4] Initially an all-male institution, Marquette became the first coeducational Catholic university in the world in 1909.[5]

Marquette is part of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. The university is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and had a student body of about 11,200 in 2020.[2][6] It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity".[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, communication, education, engineering, law, and health sciences disciplines.[6] The university also administers classes in suburbs around the Milwaukee area and in Washington, D.C. While most students are pursuing undergraduate degrees, the university has over 68 doctoral and master's degree programs, a law school, a dental school (the only such school in the state of Wisconsin), and 22 graduate certificate programs.[6]

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.[9] Among its current and past faculty and alumni are 43 Fulbright Scholars,[10] 6 Truman Scholars,[11] 6 state governors,[12][13][14][15] and 3 U.S. Senators.[16][17]
