An educational institution is only as strong as the level of excellence it demands of itself — not to mention its faculty and students. Marquette has been continually accredited since 1922. The most recent Higher Learning Commission reaffirmation of accreditation took place in 2023–24.
Thanks to Marquette's consistently high standards, specific academic programs also are accredited through numerous other organizations. 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 consistently recognized as a best value in national media such as U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review. But there’s more to a Marquette education beyond a great return on your investment. As a Catholic, Jesuit university, we measure success in the hearts and minds of our students, seeking to engage in them a mindset that looks beyond themselves and toward the benefit of others. “Men and women for and with others,” as we say in our mission, who go into the world ready to Be The Difference.
