Ready to Transfer? Begin Your Application

Transfer students (defined as any student having taken college course work after graduating from high school*) apply for direct admission into one of Marquette’s undergraduate colleges. Review the majors and minors offered before submitting.

  • From the time we receive your required academic credentials, the review process takes about three weeks. For data regarding our transfer students, browse our handout here!
  • During the review, an official credit evaluation of your completed college courses is conducted and applicants are considered for the Pere Marquette Award. An official evaluation of your credits, academic advising contact, and scholarship award is mailed along with the admission letter.

This is not an application for international students. International students who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents should visit the Office of International Education for a full listing of specific international student application requirements and online application instructions.

* Special consideration as a first-year student will be given to students graduating high school in spring (1 semester ahead of their peer co-hort) as long as they take no more than 11 credit hours at a 2-year college during that spring semester and no summer courses.
