All students who have been admitted to Marquette in the Early Application process are eligible and invited to apply to Core Honors.  We are seeking curious, open-minded, academically engaged students who are eager to learn in a diverse community of similarly motivated peers. Core Honors includes students from every college and virtually every major at Marquette, and our breadth is one of the program’s greatest assets.  We do not require test scores for admission to Core Honors (nor do we require that you have submitted them to Marquette), and there is no ACT/SAT or GPA threshold for admission to Core Honors. 

Students must apply by our Early Application deadline of November 15, 2024 and be admitted through the Early Action process to be eligible to apply to the Core Honors Program. Once you have been admitted to Marquette, you will see the link to the Core Honors application on your Status Page in your Marquette Admissions account. To apply to Core Honors, you have the option either to interview with a current Honors student or to send us materials explaining your engagement with our Honors values. We encourage you to apply to Honors as soon as you receive your admission to Marquette, but the deadline to request interviews is January 15, 2025, and the deadline to send us a written application is February 1, 2025.  You’ll learn if you’ve been admitted to Core Honors between March 3 and 5, 2025.

If you have any questions about the Core Honors admissions process, feel free to send us an email at the address to the right of this page.
