THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

NO HEADACHES. With excellent job placement — some get offers months before graduation — our IT students are poised to make an impact when they graduate.

CROSS TRAIN YOUR BRAIN. With our deeply integrated business core, you’ll learn all the fundamental aspects of business functions: accounting, economics, marketing, finance and management. When your understanding of business operations goes beyond the realm of IT to the rest of an enterprise’s functions, you broaden your opportunities for advancement.

INTERNSHIPS. Practice your skills with companies such as GE Healthcare, Harley-Davidson, Johnson Controls Inc., Miller Brewing Co., Accenture Direct Supply, Northwestern Mutual Financial Network, Rockwell Automation and law firms.

EXPLAIN YOURSELF. Our liberal arts-based core curriculum will make you a strong communicator, so you’ll be an articulate problem-solver who’s equally adept with people and information technology. That will come in handy as you listen to users’ needs and design effective systems to meet those needs.

GOING GLOBAL. Our Project Management class works virtually with Indian student development teams. A winterim course takes students to visit offshore IT firms.
