A complete application is made up of the application, $50 application fee and transcripts from all colleges and universities that have been attended. Depending on the department and degree to which the applicant is applying, additional documents can include letters of recommendation, statement of purpose, writing sample, resume, GRE or GMAT scores, TOEFL scores and possibly other documents. Applicants should consult the Graduate Bulletin or application requirements to see a list of required documents.
The application for admission must be submitted online and must be submitted before any supporting documents are sent in. Documents like statements of purpose, writing samples and resumes may be attached electronically (uploaded) to the online application.
Letters of recommendation should be submitted via the online recommendation system. If, however, your recommendation prefer to write a paper letter of recommendation, that letter must be submitted to the Graduate School, either directly or in a sealed envelope with the signature of the recommender across the flap.
Any paper documents such as copies of the GRE/GMAT/TOEFL scores, paper letters of recommendation, transcripts, writing samples and/or statements of purpose (if not submitted online) should be submitted at the same time and in the same envelope. Applicants must ensure that they are clearly identified by name, date of birth, Marquette ID number (if known) and department/degree being applied to.
