Oso planning to go pro
i have heard nothing but accolades for MU's PT department. this is from one of a few- a very good friend of mine's son suffered a brutal spinal cord injury about 2 years ago. he is essentially a quadriplegic with some very limited movements with his arms/hands. after using a number of PT locations, he has settled in on MU and makes a 30 mile drive numerous times per week. he believes MU along with the help of some docs may someday restore some of his 23 year old son's mobility.
They use to or still have a good Medical Technology department. I also remember fellow students majoring in speech therapy as well.
So MU is not a destination for a degree (undergrad or grad) in chemistry, the life sciences, math or computer science.
Here is their page that shows their current majors. Plenty of A&S majors there.https://www.marquette.edu/institutional-research-analysis/interactive-reports/major-dash.phphttps://www.marquette.edu/institutional-research-analysis/interactive-reports/major-dash.php
Are tuition costs really higher for the business majors than the Chemistry, Life Science or Biomedical majors? Why would Marquette focus recruiting on the Business, Engineering and Nursing disciplines and not the STEM majors.
MU is a destination for Engineering, Health Sciences (nursing, PT, speech path, etc.), Dentistry, and to a lesser extent, Business and Law. It has some respectable programs in A&S, especially at the graduate level, but I would not think of it as a destination. I say this as someone who graduated from A&SIt doesn't tell the whole story, but take a look at buildings: Weir Chemistry and Life Sciences buildings are decrepit. Business, Engineering, and Dentistry have state of the art buildings, and Nursing is getting a fully renovated Straz.
And Lalumier probably looks the same as when I first graced its halls 37 years ago.
So where are all the Biomedical science majors taking classes, since it appears to be the top major?
Biomedical Sciences is in the College of Health Sciences, not A&S. Not sure where they have classes, but I assume it is in similar facilities as Speech Path, PT, etc. Back in my day most of these programs were in Schroeder Complex. That may have changed. They may have a couple prerequisite classes in one of the Wehr buildings. I have no idea. Biomedical Sciences is more or less MU's name for Pre-Med and Pre-Dent
Back in my day all the pre-meds and pre-dents took all the same classes as I did as a double major in chemistry and biology.
Marquette circling the transfers...https://today.marquette.edu/2023/04/marquette-offers-support-to-cardinal-stritch-community/
Any versatile 6'9 forwards among them?
Interesting to see if they will match financial aid. That is often the hang up with these things.
It looks like a yes.https://www.marquette.edu/admissions/cardinal-stritch.php
Step one pick up as many students as possible. Hopefully step two acquire the property.
Why would Marquette have interest in the property? Most of the buildings are pretty old and have a ton of deferred maintenance needs.
