Marquette University

Undergraduate Admissions

Am I a Youth Options applicant? A Youth Options student seeks cours work not available in his or her high school. Students earn college credit from Marquette while enrolled in high school. Because Youth Options students are sponsored by the state of Wisconsin, only students attending a public Wisconsin high school may pursue course work through the Youth Options program. If you fit these criteria, continue reading the directions below and print the Youth Options application available near the bottom of this page.

Students attending private Wisconsin high schools can't participate in the Youth Options program but still have the opportunity to earn Marquette credit while in high school by enrolling as a non-degree student. Private high school students choosing this option are required to submit official high school transcripts to complete their non-degree application for admission review. You can apply online here.
