ELS/Milwaukee: A Vibrant Urban Setting on The Shores of Lake Michigan

August 6, 2015

ELS/Milwaukee, located on the Marquette University campus, offers many outdoor activities, including sailing, windsurfing and kite surfing on Lake Michigan. 

Marquette’s academic advantages are enhanced by its location in the vibrant urban setting of Milwaukee, Wisconsin—a city nestled on the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan (just 150 kilometers north of Chicago) and home to major U.S. and international corporations as well as a dynamic theater and arts community, professional sports teams, amazing restaurants, and an extensive park system.

ELS/Milwaukee offers students English for Academic Purposes, Semi-Intensive English, and American Explorer programs.

The high quality of Marquette’s education has been recognized by a variety of sources including U.S. News & World Report (76th among top national universities), the Princeton Review (“Best 379 Colleges”), and Washington Monthly (ranked 32nd nationally in 2010 based on contributions to the public good). Adding to its value, Marquette offers scholarships for undergraduate applicants with high academic performance and credit for A-Level, IB, AP and university studies.

Milwaukee is home to Harley Davidson, the maker of iconic and world-famous motorcycles. There is even a museum devoted to all things Harley.

Milwaukee is known as the “City of Festivals,” offering music and ethnic festivals throughout the year, including the Summerfest, the largest music festival in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
