Marquette University. . .

Marquette University (located in Milwaukie, Wisconsin) ranks 77th among the top national universities in the 2009 edition of America's Best Colleges, released by U.S. News & World Report. Marquette was listed among the 262 U.S. universities that offer undergraduate majors, as well as master's and doctoral degrees. Marquette once again was one of only 25 schools recognized for service learning under “Academic Programs to Look For.” Service learning programs involve volunteer work in the community as an instructional strategy, enriching the classroom experience. In addition, the magazine listed Marquette as one of its "A+ options for B students."

In recent years, more than 90% of Marquette students have received help through the University's aid programs and outside sources of assistance.

Marquette offers a wide variety of merit scholarships to freshman and transfer students that support the university's mission while recognizing student achievement — excellence in and out of the classroom, commitment to community service and demonstrated leadership.
