As a Catholic, Jesuit University, Marquette aims to graduate students who are transformed by their education and who will transform the world in which they live.

About Milwaukee, Wisconsin Located on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin with a population of about 600,000. Milwaukee is also the main cultural and economic center of the Milwaukee–Racine–Waukesha Metropolitan Area, which has a population of around 2 million. Milwaukee was once known almost exclusively as a brewing and manufacturing powerhouse, but has undergone a lot of change in the last 15 years. New additions to the city have included the Milwaukee Riverwalk, the Midwest Airlines Center, Miller Park,an internationally renowned addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum, and Pier Wisconsin, as well as major renovations to the Milwaukee Auditorium. A plethora of museums, restaurants, and theatres can be found around town, and Milwaukee is enjoying an increasingly vibrant music scene.
Milwaukee has a large industrial and business community. The world headquarters of Fortune 100 companies such as Johnson Controls and the Health care division of General Electric are located here. In addition, several Fortune 500 companies such as Rockwell Automation,Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Company, Manpower, and Miller Coors are also locatedin Milwaukee. Milwaukee Leading Industries: (Source: Milwaukee Metropolitan Associationof Commerce - MMAC)
In total, the Milwaukee region flourishes with more than 50,000 business establishments, 1 million employees and a gross regional product of more than $99 billion. Roughly one-third of the region's businesses drive the export of goods and services beyond regional borders, bringing new income into the region. These regional driver industries include:
-Power, automation and controls
-Food & beverage manufacturing
-Information technology
-Distribution

Milwaukee is a short distance from Chicago (less than 2 hours by car). Chicago offers additional cultural activities as well as business opportunities.
International Student Employment and Internship Prospects Despite the fact that the employment market in the U.S. has slightly improved in recent months, most employers are apprehensive about hiring international (F-1 Visa) students for internships and, even less so, for regular employment. Marquette University international students have had some success, especially during the last year, however,overall the placement rate in internships and employment has been less than 10% and much less with regards to regular employment. Students in the MSA programhave been a bit more successful in securing internships or regular employment(see details below). Students in the MSAE program have also had some success.Students in qualitative or more culturally-focused fields such as MSHR or MBA have had the least success in securing any kind of employment. With the above said, we have two career services centers on campus; one for all university students and one for the College of Business Administration and Graduate School of Management. Each year, several career fairs and other employment related events are arranged by these two units. Students would also have access to career resources such assearch engines, resume writing services, interviewing skills, and other services intended to provide information and assistance to the students seeking employment.
Marquette University Accounting Internship Matching Program
Each spring, the Accounting Department and Business Career Center coordinate an internship interview process for Marquette University graduate and undergraduate Accounting students. Over fifteen organizations interview students each year, including the Big 4 accounting firms, national accounting firms and regional organizations. Internships secured through the Matching Program provide students with high-level learning experiences: interns are assigned work responsibilities equivalent to those of a first-year employee. In addition to gaining valuable internship experience, students may earn academic credit fortheir internship and to date, all Matching Program internships have been paid.
Tuition, Fees and Cost of Living Marquette University GSM offers master degree programs in Accounting (MSA), Applied Economics (MSAE) and Human Resources (MSHR) as well as a part-time MBA program, which allows full-time enrollment needed by international students. The tuition fee is $1025 per credit hour of a graduate business class. The typical numbers of credit hours and their corresponding approximate tuition/fees required to complete thevarious programs are as follows:
MSA (30-36 cr. hrs.) $31,000 – $37,000
MSAE (30-36 cr. hrs.) $31,000 – $37,000
MSHR (30-32 cr. hrs.) $31,000 – $33,000
MBA (37-50 cr. hrs.) $38,000 – $52,000
The minimum cost of living in Milwaukee including accommodations, food, books, and minimal expenses is approximately $1000 per month. Below is a breakdown of approximate costs.

The search for graduate assistantships generally begins in the spring semester.

Safety and Security Marquette University is dedicated to student safety and security. The university has a Public Safety office and officers who continuously patrol the campus. There is also a city police department adjacent to the campus. The campus community receives regular safety notices and information. For commuting after dark, the university has shuttle buses, which would pick up and drop off students until late in the night. Students are also asked to be diligent and vigilant and take precaution to ensure their own safety and security.
Accommodation Marquette University does not provideon-campus accommodation (dormitories) for graduate students. Prior to your arrival at Marquette, the GSM will provide listings of nearby apartments and sublease opportunities. During your first days at Marquette, the GSM will work with you closely in order to assist with your arrival, accommodation search,and settlement. When new students first arrive, we can arrange for temporary housing on campus in order to help with transition.
Airport Pickup Service New international GSM students arriving at Milwaukee’s Mitchell International Airport or at the Milwaukee Amtrak Station (where Coach USA buses from Chicago drop off) can arrange to be picked up a member of the GSM staff. Directions for getting to the Universityon your own will also be provided.
Immersion Week and Orientation for New Students At no cost to the student, Marquette’s GSM will provide a week-long Immersion Week for students enrolling in fall semesters. Students enrolling in spring semesters will be provided with a USB drive containing the material and some videos of the Immersion Week. The immersion week is intended to familiarize the international GSM students with living and studying in the United States and at Marquette University as graduate business students. Lectures will be arranged on classroom conduct, team membership, class participation, research methods, presentation skills,and case analysis. The students will meet with their academic advisors informal and informal settings during this week.
The University will also have an orientation program for international students. Several of their sessions are required for all international students. Attendance at both the Immersion Week events and the University’s“required” sessions are mandatory for all GSM students.

国际学生就业及实习现状 尽管近几个月美国就业市场有所回暖,大部分雇主对于给F-1签证的国际学生提供实习及全职工作持保守态度。马凯特大学国际学生的就业情况在去年取得了一定的成功,但是总体实习率低于10%,全职工作则更低。MSA项目的学生在实习和全职工作上的情况相对较好。MSAE项目的学生就业情况也较为理想。但是对于对社会文化认知较高的行业,例如MSHR和MBA的就业,包括实习和全职在内,都相对薄弱。 相对于以上情况,校园内提供了两个求职服务中心。一个面向全校同学的就业服务,另一个则专门针对商学院包括本科,研究生的就业服务。每年,这两个机构都会提供多个招聘会及其他就业相关的活动。除此之外,求职服务中心还向学生提供例如职位搜索,简历修改,面试培训及其他相关的服务帮助学生就业。
