Tuition Benefits

Marquette University offers its employees certain tuition benefits as part of the university’s overall total rewards program.

These tuition benefits are intended to foster, promote and stress the value of higher education and personal/professional growth and development. By making available a Marquette education to employees, spouses and dependent children, Marquette seeks to promote and uphold the mission of the university.

Certain university programs, such as the Executive MBA program and online degree programs, are not eligible for this benefit.

TUITION BENEFITS FOR EMPLOYEES One of Marquette University’s most valued benefits is free tuition for employees and qualified family members!

This benefit allows full-time regular and part-time regular employees to attend classes or obtain an undergraduate and/or graduate degree*. The offering allows full-time employees to take seven credit hours in each of the spring and fall semesters, four credit hours in the J-session, and eight credit hours in the summer session. Part-time staff are eligible for prorated tuition benefits.

You are eligible for this benefit at the beginning of the next academic term following your hire date.

TUITION BENEFITS FOR SPOUSES

This benefit allows spouses of full-time regular employees to attend classes or obtain an undergraduate and/or graduate degree*. The offering allows spouses of full-time employees to take seven credit hours in each of the spring and fall semesters, four credit hours in the J-session, and eight credit hours in the summer session.

Spouses are eligible for this benefit at the beginning of the next academic term following the eligible employee’s hire date.

TUITION BENEFITS FOR DEPENDENTS

This benefit allows dependent children of full-time regular employees to attend on-campus classes on a full-time basis at Marquette University in undergraduate and graduate degree* programs. Each student is required to meet the usual academic and other requirements for admission to, and retention by, the university.

FACHEX and Tuition Exchange are undergraduate tuition benefit options that allow dependents eligible for tuition benefits at Marquette to apply for the same benefits at participating Jesuit (through FACHEX) or other (through Tuition Exchange) host institutions.

Eligibility for dependent tuition benefit begins the academic term after an eligible employee completes five consecutive year of full-time employment.
