FYI items:
The purpose of this event is to individually honor our candidates for graduation in the following areas:

- Master of science in clinical mental health counseling
- Master of education in college student personnel administration, elementary education, literacy, and secondary education

This is our College ceremony, and as such, all candidates for graduation will walk across the stage beginning with the undergraduates and ending with our doctoral candidates (hooding of May doctoral candidates occurs at the university commencement ceremony).
There are no tickets for this event, but we do require check-in at the door. So, we request that you adhere to the requested number of guests in order to accommodate all of our graduates. Please RSVP, as we need an accurate count of attendees in the event that someone needs to request extra seating.
All candidates for graduation should wear graduation apparel (cap and gown).
Please note that attendance at our ceremony is not mandatory.
Master’s level candidates who complete their program in May receive their diplomas after our ceremony. A College of Education representative will have diplomas to distribute in a designated area at the Pabst Theater. There will be NO other diplomas (undergraduate or doctoral level) distributed at that time.
Additional information regarding Marquette University-wide graduation can be found online.
