Oso planning to go pro
Marquette's grad rate is behind its peers. And yeah some of that is because of the reasons you mention regarding the four year rate are legit, but a six year rate of 82% isn't bad. But Nova's and Gonzaga's are really, really good. About three quarters of the students who leave will leave after the first year BTW.
The vast majority of Marquette students come from the Chicago-Milwaukee urban area. Within one state of Chicago are these schools.6 University of Chicago 9 Northwestern14 Wash U St Louis19 Notre Dame23 Michigan42 Madison47 Illinois49 Purdue68 Indiana83 Marquette83 Michigan State (tie)83 Iowa103 Loyola Chicago103 St Louis103 UIC112 IIT122 Iowa St127 DePaul136 Drake148 Michigan Tech172 Valparaiso187 Detroit196 IUPUIMarquette will never keep up with the elite institutions like Chicago and Northwestern, or with the resources of the Big Ten research institutions (though we are tied/ahead of a few of them), but to be #2 among private, religious colleges on this list...that's exactly where Marquette wants to be. 20 spots ahead of SLU and LUC? 40+ ahead of DePaul, Drake, and Valpo? That'll make the board and donors happy.
You left off #136 St. Thomas
And the U of MN at 68.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
He said within a state of Chicago, not Milwaukee
Well, it is just an undergrad ranking, so the lack of a law school and medical school don't matter.
Feels about right overall. But are we behind Gonzaga, Santa Clara and Loyola Marymount?https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities
Michigan schools aren't within a state of Chicago....

New head coach probably helped
Inflection points when Wojo hired/fired. Good call, Newsie.
It amazes me that Princeton ranks so high. It neither has a law School or Medical School.
If comparing schools for the purpose of undergrad degree, these USNWR rankings might be more appropriate: Marquette University - #58 in Best Undergraduate Teaching (tie)#54 in Best Value Schools
Michigan and Illinois meet in the Middle of Lake Michigan.
On a boat? Over a few beers? Make jokes about what a pain 45 miles of Indiana is?
GU and Nova are helped in the rankings because they are drawing nationally and can be more selective and that contributes to students remaining on campus. GU has an acceptance rate of 61%, Nova 30%, MU's near 80%. LMU's is 43%
That's not accurate. Georgetown has an acceptance rate of 11.7%. https://thehoya.com/gu-admits-just-12-of-applicants-setting-record-low/
GU is Gonzaga in this case.
