Prospective Students Visit

The best way to preview your experience as a Marquette law student is to visit.

Admissions Information Sessions are offered on select afternoons throughout the academic year. On most other weekdays, the Office of Admissions is open for individual visits Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can meet with an admissions officer and take a law school tour.

Our visits fill quickly! We strongly encourage you to make arrangements at least one week in advance of your visit. Class and faculty visits require at least two weeks advance notice. To arrange a visit, contact the Office of Admissions at (414) 288-6767 or submit your request on-line.

Admissions Information Sessions

The staff of the Office of Admissions hosts on-campus information sessions for prospective students. The sessions are conducted in a format which provides information about the Law School, admissions, financial aid, and enrollment policies and procedures, curriculum, intellectual and student life, and more. A tour of the Law School led by a current law student is scheduled to follow each information session.

To ensure productive sessions, prospective students should arrive prepared to ask questions. It is not necessary to schedule your attendance at an information session in advance, nor is attendance at an information session mandatory of applicants.

Each admissions information session will be held at the Law School, Ray and Kay Eckstein Hall, 1215 West Michigan Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Directions to the Law School are available here. For visitors from out of town, Marquette University has compiled resources on hotels near the campus.

Unless otherwise noted, each information session begins promptly at 11:45 AM and will last approximately one hour, followed by a brief tour.

A prospective student should call the Office of Admissions (414-288-6767) the morning of a scheduled information session to confirm that the session will take place.

We look forward to meeting you.
