The mission of the Marquette University College of Engineering is to prepare undergraduate and graduate students for successful careers based on a strong ethical and moral foundation, to advance the state of the art in engineering, to serve the professional and technical communities and to contribute to our global society. This statement reflects the essential nature of the college. The college exists to provide society with high-quality engineers, useful technical knowledge, and appropriate community education and service. The motivation of the college centers about its desire to emphasize to the engineering community the intrinsic value of humankind and of the individuals who comprise it. This motivation flows directly from the fact that the college is an integral part of a Catholic, Jesuit university.
Engineering students have the opportunity to earn a minor in another engineering field.
Also, non-engineering students may earn a minor in a field of engineering. The master of science degree is conferred upon recommendation by the Graduate School for candidates in biomedical, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering, and the doctoral degree is conferred on a college-wide basis. Details on the master's and doctoral programs are contained in the Graduate School Bulletin . The College of Engineering is a member of the American Society for Engineering Education. Accreditation by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology is held for biomedical, civil, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering curricula, including the cooperative education and evening programs.
