HONORS PROGRAM STUDENTS: WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
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. New freshmen applications to the Honors Program are reviewed on a pooled, competitive basis. The application deadline for Fall 2014 is February 15 and decisions will be mailed by April 1.
MIKSANG PHOTOGRAPHY SHOWCASE
Miksang Contemplative Photography was introduced to Honors Program students in 2006 by Miriam Hall, a contemplative arts teacher based in Madison, Wisconsin.
The Marquette University Honors Program presented
the 5th Annual Miksang Contemplative Photography Class Closing Show. On display were the wonderful and miraculous perceptions of a semester-long exploration of Mindfulness in Photography.
