About Us
The University Chorus, the longest standing choral organization on campus, is a mixed choir of men and women.
All interested singers have a place in the the Marquette Choir Program. The program has four choruses - the University Chorus, the University Women's Chorus, the University Men's Chorus and the Marquette Chamber Choir. Members of the mens' and womens' ensembles must also be members of the mixed chorus. Students have the choice to take Chorus for either 1 credit hour per semester, or to pursue a 0 credit option if they desire. All choral ensembles can be used to complete the ensemble participation requirements of the new Music Minor.
The rehearsal schedule is:
- Tuesday - 5:00 PM to 5:45 PM - ALL female singers (Marquette University Women's Chorus)
- Tuesday - 5:50 PM to 6:55 PM - Marquette University Chorus

Choir to the Capital
Marquette University Chorus travels across the Midwest on a journey to the Nation's Capital. Come join and support us as we spread the joy of singing and procure Marquette's reputation.
Fundraisers will be happening around campus to help us travel this spring break! If you are interested in helping out by making a donation contact any of the council members for more information.
