Undergraduate Prospective Students

Marquette's holistic admission review considers academic achievement in conjunction with a student's unique talents, leadership and service activities, application essay, school profile, letters of recommendation and any other information a student wishes to submit. Your application may be reviewed by multiple admissions committee members or discussed by the committee as a whole. In addition, other criteria may be considered, such as being first generation college students in their families or located in an environment that faces educational, geographic, economic, and/or other barriers that contribute to the social determinants of health and/or education. We believe the unique combination of experiences and attributes along with metrics contribute to a student’s development in becoming a Marquette Nurse. 

Our College of Nursing Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs prepare women and men to be providers of care, leaders of care and members of the nursing profession. Upon graduation, students are well-prepared to provide safe high-quality nursing care, care that encompasses populations of all ages in a variety of health care settings. Graduates of the B.S.N. programs consistently pass the national licensing exam on their first attempt at levels higher than the national average. The baccalaureate program is an excellent foundation for continued graduate education in nursing.
