Marquette is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Institutes of Higher Education through The Higher Learning Commission.
Thanks to Marquette's consistently high standards, specific academic programs also are accredited through numerous other organizations and associations.
These accreditations assure students that Marquette's academic excellence is nationally recognized.
In addition, students have the security of knowing that Marquette's credits can transfer to comparable institutions of learning, just as incoming transfer students can be assured that Marquette is likely to honor most credits earned at a similarly accredited college or university.
Marquette is currently preparing to reaffirm its institutional accreditation. The culmination of this process will be a visit by the Higher Learning Commission in the fall of 2013 or spring 2014.
