Marquette University provides a distinct framework for educating future leaders by integrating a semester curriculum that examines the multi-faceted American political experience with an internship in Congress, a federal agency, or the private sector. From the arts to interest group politics to Congress and foreign policy, students have the opportunity to experience the American democratic process firsthand.
Limited enrollment assures that each student receives individualized attention.
Marquette University, a Jesuit school located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has named the center, which is based in Washington, D.C., in memory of the late Les Aspin, former US Secretary of Defense and distinguished professor of international policy at Marquette.
