Marquette University requires applicants to meet specific academic and personal criteria for admission. A strong high school curriculum, including four years of English, math, science, and social studies, is expected. Competitive applicants typically have a GPA of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
Standardized test scores (SAT or ACT) are optional but can strengthen an application. Extracurricular involvement, leadership roles, and community service are also considered. International students must demonstrate English proficiency via TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo scores. Transfer students need a minimum college GPA of 2.5. Each program may have additional requirements, so applicants should review department-specific guidelines.
