From the Dean
Welcome!
As we just celebrated 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 U.S. 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.

How To Use
The Graduate School of Management (GSM) Bulletin contains information regarding the academic calendar, admissions, degree requirements, fees, regulations, and course offerings. Prospective and current graduate students are responsible for all information contained in this bulletin that is pertinent to graduate study and their specific field. Academic policy and course changes will apply to all students as of the date they become effective, regardless of whether they were in effect at the time the student initially enrolled at Marquette. Graduate students may follow the program requirements of the bulletin that are in effect at the time they submit their application, or any other bulletin used during their enrollment as long as the student's program has not been discontinued in the bulletin year the student decides to follow. That is, students may not continue in programs that have been discontinued, unless they maintain continuous enrollment from the time of admission and follow the degree requirements in effect during one of the bulletin years in which the program was active. However, students must abide by only one bulletin's rules. If any exceptions to this policy are required due to length of time between submitting an application and beginning the program, the student will be notified in writing of the applicable bulletin to follow. In order to properly audit a student's academic record for graduation, the student must notify the Graduate School of Management in writing if any bulletin other than the one in effect at the time of application is to be used.
Graduate School of Management students must assume full responsibility for knowledge of the rules and regulations of the Graduate School of Management and the special requirements of their individual degree programs. It is the responsibility of each graduate student to verify and meet the deadlines listed in the Academic Calendar (e.g., for submitting financial aid forms, etc.).
Changes to the Graduate School of Management Bulletin
Marquette University reserves the right to make changes of any nature in its programs, calendar, or academic schedule whenever in its sole judgement it is deemed necessary or desirable. Certain provisions in the bulletin may be in the process of amendment or change. Accordingly, the bulletin is not intended to be relied upon as a statement of the university's contractual undertakings. The decision of Marquette University as to the interpretation and method of implementation of its rules, regulations, program requirements, schedules and calendars shall be conclusive and final.
The information in this bulletin and other university bulletins, publications, or announcements may change without notice. Current information is available from the Graduate School of Management.
