You can apply to Marquette using our application or the Common Application. Both applications are linked below. There is no preference of one app over the other, so feel free to apply using the application that’s best for you. Take a moment to review our deadlines, required materials and additional information. We look forward to reviewing your application!
If you want to take a moment to learn more about our academic programs, student life or connecting with a counselor, start with a visit to our undergraduate admissions page.
Please note: First-year applicants seek to enroll as full-time undergraduate students at Marquette University. Any student enrolled in high school or any full-time-seeking student who has not earned postsecondary college credit may apply as a first-year student. High school students enrolled in college course work while in high school (dual enrollment) are also considered first-year applicants.
