About Us
Dean's Office
Welcome from the Dean
As we celebrate 100 years of Jesuit business education, it is an appropriate time to reaffirm our commitment to educating ethical, socially responsible global leaders who are prepared to excel in a dynamic business environment. Knowing that we cannot predict what future challenges our graduates will face, we equip our students with critical thinking skills and the ability to become lifelong learners. Through applied learning experiences that take place in and out of the classroom, we prepare our students to become competitive, creative, and compassionate leaders who make a difference by serving business and society in their personal and professional lives.
With the generous endowment from Jim Keyes, we have begun to implement many of the ideas that emerged from our collaborative strategic planning process. While academic quality remains a top priority, we will implement new program delivery methods and expand our geographic reach through the use of distance learning and social media technologies. Remaining focused on our local markets, we are also establishing new global partnerships with universities and organizations around key academic programs. We will connect our programs and centers with business through innovative applied learning experiences and faculty and student research that has relevance and impact. Our focus on ethics and social responsibility is more than a response to current events – it has been one of the pillars of Jesuit business education at Marquette for a century.
We are pleased that our Executive MBA program is ranked in the top 20 and our part-time MBA program in the top 50 by US News & World Report. Our alumni, who number over 20,000, play key leadership roles in companies all over the world, transforming the way we do business. They do this with their exceptional knowledge, strong leadership skills, and, equally important, through an indomitable spirit that puts people first as they seek to be a force for positive change.
I look forward to accomplishing great things with our students, faculty and staff, alumni, members of the business community, and friends and supporters, as we move into our second 100 years.
