Marquette University

Marquette University is a mid-sized, private Jesuit doctoral university in Milwaukee with a pragmatic, partnership-driven research culture. A long-standing engineering co-op connects talent to year-round roles with regional employers, and the urban campus places labs close to major manufacturers and the water-technology hub. A coordinated corporate engagement team streamlines sponsored research, multi-party collaborations, and access to prototyping and specialized testing facilities. Research is supported by competitive federal funding from agencies such as NIH and NSF, alongside industry and foundation sponsors. A dedicated technology transfer office manages IP and licensing and supports startups through mentorship and internal seed programs.
