Marquette students continue to report high rates of satisfaction, with 96% of graduating seniors indicating they were satisfied with their undergraduate education and 94% completing their degrees as quickly as planned, according to the 2026 Graduating Senior Survey.
The 2026 Graduating Senior Survey, administered in April 2026, investigated graduating seniors’ satisfaction with their academic experience and overall Marquette education, engagement in co-curricular learning experiences and plans for the immediate future. The survey had a 35% 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 2022 through 2026 surveys are available here. The comments are organized by the last name of the faculty or staff member mentioned.
