"The school itself is a reputable college. The masters of nursing in science program is new and has a lot of kinks to workout. The program did an okay job preparing me for my career. The financial services were very limited to graduate students and not very helpful."

"Marquette's exercise physiology bachelor's degree has prepared me to enter physical therapy graduate school in ways that I would not have imagined! The professors make difficult material easily understood through excellent teaching and applicable examples and laboratory sessions. By practicing clinical skills as early as freshman year, as a senior I feel that I am well-prepared with a clinical toolbox that can be appleid to a multitude of situations in the clinic as well as professional world."

"Marquette University is a renowned educational institution for good reason. It is home to world-class professors and researchers, many of whom are involved in the Doctorate of Physical Therapy Program. A highly competitive direct admission program, its rigorous schedule challenges students while preparing them for professional excellence. Many lab sessions accompany each course and provide direct application of course material that will be used throughout our clinical experience as physical therapists. The staff knows each student by name and is involved in their success and professional development. It is an honor to attend this institution!"

"Marquette University is reputed for being the third best university in Wisconsin. I would say that the university deserves more than that. The academic environment is so encouraging and there is the unfeigned willingness to help students excel in their studies. At the graduate level, there is a high level of respect accorded grad students. There are numerous library resources and course textbooks made available to students for their courses. One other great thing I have noticed, within my time on the campus, is that employers respect Marquette Alumni and usually specifically seek Marquette graduates for employment opportunities. There are also about 300 student organizations for sports, growth and different areas of life, of which students may partake, buoyantly."

"I am currently in my 4th year of the 5 year bachelors-to-master's program that Marquette offers to its students for a Master's in Human Resources. Finding out about the program was my biggest problem-it seems as though they are hiding it from students! I have love all my classes thus far, and my professors are professionals in the field. I definitely would recommend this program to potential students."

"Marquette University provided a great program to prepare me for Physical Therapy Graduate School. The professors were extremely knowledgeable and I learned so much from them. The program is challenging, but they still want you to succeed. The biggest positive about this program is the opportunities that are presented because off the Milwaukee location. I learned so much from being out in the community and helping people, and getting hands-on experience. The Exercise Physiology department has prepared me to continue on to get my DPT."

"My experience at Marquette University for my undergraduate degree of Exercise Physiology has been so meaningful to my current successes and my future plans. Even though our academic schedule was very rigorous, it greatly prepared me for my future as a health care professional. The classes that I took were very interesting and provided unique lab experiences beyond the regular lecture portions of class. All of the exercise science staff and College of Health Science staff are very friendly and supportive of all their students, and are always available if you have any questions or need help. There are also multiple opportunities for graduate school at Marquette University in the College of Health Science, and there is a strong advantage to be accepted if you completed your undergraduate degree at Marquette University. My experience at Marquette University has been enriching and fulfilling, and I would recommend the Exercise Physiology program to anyone who is considering it. You will not be disappointed with the education you receive and the overall experience you have at Marquette University."

The curriculum is challenging and applicable to the demands of clinical and professional practice and works toward development of the whole person. The faculty are all incredibly knowledgeable and approachable and truly want the very best for their students. The skills and knowledge I have acquired from this program will greatly enhance my abilities and practice as I pursue my career in Physical Therapy.

"Marquette University became my home away from home. I was blessed to be apart of the Athletic Training program and Physical Therapy program. Both programs provided me with an outstanding curriculum that pushed me to become a better clinician and better person. I began clinical work right away, which was great to apply what I learned in the classroom to real life scenarios. Marquette not only had great academic programs, it also has great clubs and organizations on campus to help students grow and meet new people."

"I am a current graduate student at Marquette University and I am thus far very impressed with the program. It truly values reflection and understanding what it takes to become a counselor. I find that the clinical mental health program has challenged me nearly as much personally as it has academically. We have a high licensing rate and high test scores, but I also feel that those that go here end up becoming very well rounded. I would highly recommend this program to prospective counseling students."

"I loved my program at Marquette. Great professors, great city, great academics. It isn't in a a college town so be prepared for that if you go there. The campus isn't in the best neighborhood but it is worth it for the Jesuit ideals and great people and professors."

"Overall I liked the small classroom sixes with a good mix of technology. The new engineering building makes significant improvements to the learning experience and provides numerous benefits. Most of the professors are very helpful and want to see you excel, and are willing to help in any way possible. The location is great, close to downtown, which has its benefits and drawbacks, but overall its a great school."

"Great school for those looking for a university that is not too big and also not too small. Marquette truly feels like a community and a home away from home. It is located right in the heart of Milwaukee so there is always plenty to do outside of school work. Marquette itself offers a wide variety of extracurricular activities and clubs. The professors are very down to earth and care deeply about their students learning and well-being. Highly recommend to all looking for a place to attend college."

"Marquette University is one of the best all-around liberal arts colleges in the country. It fosters a concern for others based on motto of "cura personalis" and is constantly evolving to meet the growing needs of society and students. Service is key and students help volunteer to serve the surrounding community, as well as grow from experiences with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity. Marquette is affordable and a student can meet other diligent and kind students in an urban setting with a welcoming Midwestern attitude and work ethic. Marquette University offers second-to-none study abroad opportunities to countries such as France, Mexico, Spain, and South Africa, as well as semester study in Washington, D.C. If you want a memorable and meaningful college university, Marquette University is right for you."

"The Biomedical Sciences degree was definitely geared towards preparing students for future education, whether it be Med School, PA School, or PT School. This degree exposed me to a wide array of material which allowed me to keep my options open in regards to which future profession I wanted to pick. Eventually after shadowing with various professions I chose Physical Therapy as my career path, and I'm now on the way towards earning my doctoral degree."

"I was drawn to Marquette University because of my search for colleges during my senior year of high school. When I had decided on pursuing a Physical Therapy major, I was drawn to the Direct Admit program that Marquette offered. I was accepted and decided to attend this school. The campus is very compact but beautiful in its own right. In terms of the education offered, Marquette has its typical courses with giving Core of Common Studies and General Education to its students. When it came time to get into the PT program, that's when some concern came to light. The PT program is rigorous, but prides itself in being prestigious. While it has its high points and its distinction of a doctorate program. Classes have an artificial rigor that it gives us the appearance of difficulty as a graduate program. Grading scales make it almost impossible to get as close as a B, let alone get the required grade to pass in a program that requires us to get a certain grade and GPA per semester. Assessments of our performance tend to get very subjective and prove to be unfair. The past two semesters of my first year of the program has shown it to have this artificial rigor. However, I have heard and do expect the clinical rotation program offered will immerse us to closer to the real experience of being a PT. Despite these shortcomings, the program in itself cannot be perfect, but it does provide us the obstacles and opportunities that can present itself in the coming year. I like to compare my years here at Marquette to a funnel for how the academics were. The beginning of my years here was a funnel that had general education that exposed us to not only basic sciences and mathematics, but also faith based courses in Theology and Social Justice that exposed us to issues based in Milwaukee and other areas. As the years went on, those classes were over, but the values still were maintained in the subsequent courses. Even by this point in my graduate career, the values of Marquette still hold true even in my classes as a PT graduate student. Overall, I would do all my years in college back here again, because I couldn't imagine any other place that has provided a home for me to be comfortable and be challenged. What's better is that I'll still be here for the next two years to really cherish the influence of Marquette and to truly be the difference."
