ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM

APPLYING TO THE UNIVERSITY HONORS PROGRAM

The Honors Program is open to academically qualified students in any of Marquette’s seven colleges — Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Communication, Education, Engineering, Health Sciences or Nursing. Historically, we have been fortunate to receive many outstanding applications. This makes the admissions process highly selective, as we've drawn from pools of very well qualified students.

Students may apply to the Honors Program during their senior year in high school or during their first year at Marquette. New freshmen applications to the Honors Program are reviewed on a pooled, competitive basis. The application deadline for Fall 2013 was February 15 and decisions were mailed on March 15.
