Marquette students continue to report high rates of satisfaction with their education, with 96% of graduating seniors indicating they were satisfied with their undergraduate education, and 91% completing their degrees as quickly as planned, according to the 2025 Graduating Senior Survey.
The 2025 Graduating Senior Survey, administered in April 2025, investigated graduating seniors’ satisfaction with their academic experience and overall Marquette education, engagement in co-curricular learning experiences, perceived impact of their education on institutional learning outcomes, and plans for the immediate future. The survey had a 44% response rate. The Key Takeaways report is available online.
An interactive report, which includes several years of survey results and allows users to break the results down by college, gender, race/ethnicity, and first-generation status, is also available.
As part of the survey, students respond to the question: “Who is one faculty or staff member who had the greatest positive influence on your Marquette experience?” Responses from the 2021 through 2025 surveys are available here. The comments are organized by the last name of the faculty or staff member mentioned. Read about the amazing work being done to give Marquette undergraduate students a transformative learning experience. This year, these “kudos” comments were theme coded to highlight faculty and staff behaviors that are most impactful for graduating seniors, as they reflect on their undergraduate years at Marquette.
