Marquette Summer Studies
Seize the summer.
We don't slow down over the summer and neither should you.
With so much to do in Milwaukee in the summer,
you might be surprised to know that it's easy to knock off a few credits, too. Our six-week accelerated summer programs allow you to take
a class in the morning or evening, meaning there's still plenty of time to enjoy the best season in Milwaukee.
Whether you're looking to catch up, get a head start on the fall semester or graduate sooner, you'll find 350-plus on-campus options and more than 40 online courses, including many popular intro and core classes — it's the competitive edge you're looking for.
Don't wait — classes fill up fast. Registration begins March 21.
