Colleges and schools

Marquette Central

Marquette Central is our on-campus, centralized home for the offices of the Bursar, Financial Aid, Registrar and Student Employment, and we’re here to help students and parents with any questions you may have. You’ll also find online resources, key next steps and important deadlines on our website that will ensure your success while at Marquette.

Student success

Marquette’s student-first mission means every student we accept here is a student we believe can succeed here. We strive to ensure every student who enrolls here will stay, learn and thrive — and truly feel they are home at Marquette — through wraparound resources, programming and an intentional framework for student success.

Student research

One thing that sets Marquette apart is the opportunity for undergraduate students to work side by side with a faculty member to dig in and conduct research. These experiences bring learning to life in a whole new way while pushing students to think more deeply.

Study abroad

No matter your major, you can study abroad for any length of time: an academic year, a semester, a short-term summer program, during spring break or over J-Session. Research has shown that studying abroad fosters cultural understanding, increases employability and career skills, and may even improve your GPA.
