"The Field Experience Programs provide a great opportunity to observe and work with different types of schools in the Milwaukee area! And the resources at Hartman Center are very helpful for preparing lessons for math and reading."

"Overall, Marquette University is a great college to attend. Especially, Marquette's physical therapy program because it is ranked #12 in the country. Some pros about the physical therapy graduate program are the high education quality of the program, the networking opportunities available, support from faculty, and the social life. The cons about the program is that since Marquette is a private university, it is very expensive and you will have to pay out of pocket during the school year even if you are offered the maximum amount of financial aid as I was. Ultimately, Marquette University offers a high quality education and is a great choice as long as you are able to afford it."

"Overall, I am extremely satisfied with Marquette's Physical Therapy graduate program. The greatest aspect of the program is the faculty. The staff is willing to go above and beyond for the students and they truly have the students' best interests in mind. Most of the staff is extremely engaging and knowledgeable about the physical therapy profession. Their ability to make uninteresting subjects, interesting, is truly remarkable. The biggest con I feel that the program has is that certain students are better prepared for certain course than others. For example, students that choose Exercise Physiology or Athletic Training as an undergraduate major are required to take an anatomy as well as a kinesiology course. Though these classes are of a basic level, they give students an introduction to the material. Students who chose majors outside of these two, do not have access to these classes. Therefore, they may be slightly disadvantaged when the graduate courses come along. To the program's defense, the professors teach the graduate classes as if no one has seen the material. However, in all reality, some of the students benefit from hearing the information twice, vs. those that are receiving it for the first time. I feel that that the program should either stop encouraging students to be "diverse" by choosing other majors, or they should give these other majors the opportunity to take similar classes as the exercise science and athletic training students, if they are already on the DPT track."

"Great program due to the new facilities and Marquette finds innovative ways to stay on top of the competition and graduate competent clinicians. Cons is that tuition is increasing making loan repayment more of a burden."

"I feel a pro of my graduate program is that it's the only program in the state that offers a MSN degree with a track that's similar to a healthcare administration degree. The cons of my program is the high expense of tuition."

"Marquette University provides a high level of quality and applicability in their Doctor of Physical Therapy program. The professors are knowledgable and expert in their respective niches, and as clinicians in general. They make themselves available to students without hesitation and offer office hours well beyond the minimum. They are very hands-on with assisting students in finding clinical rotations and provide emotional as well as academic support and direction."

"PROS: -Excellent PT faculty with impressive achievements and connections within the professional organization, all while being very accessible and effective at what they do -many practical application opportunities, hands-on lab classes, and site visits -If you're a direct-admit PT student, you can shave a year off of your combined undergrad/graduate years (6 vs 7) -Prepares you very well for clinical rotations (many of my clinical instructors commented that their Marquette students were either among their best or were their best) -Great location near downtown Milwaukee with easy access to Lake Michigan (1-2 miles east) and public transportation -Ideal campus size (~10 min max to get from class to class) and ideal student population size (~12,000 combined undergrad and grad students which means ample opportunity to meet new people without getting lost in a sea of unfamiliar faces) CONS: -cold winters! (but the smaller campus means less time in the cold!) -not a ton of scholarship opportunities for students in the health professions (either at Marquette or from private sources)"
