Pregnancy Resources

If you or someone you care about is pregnant or parenting at Marquette, know that our university community is here to support you. We are committed to ensuring that pregnant and parenting students feel strongly supported, are able to complete their academic studies and graduate, enjoy Marquette, care for their families, and maximally experience the university’s ethos of cura personalis (“Care for the Whole Person”).

The university offers a wide range of pregnancy and parenting resources and direct ways to access them. In addition, you may be interested in off-campus resources not affiliated with the university.
