Students must apply for formal admission to the Teacher Education Program through the Office of Teacher Education located in the College of Education. The admission and retention requirements at Marquette University meet the requirements established by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction.

To be formally admitted to the Teacher Education Program students must:

• Achieve a GPA of 2.750 in a minimum of 40 credits of undergraduate course work.
• Obtain passing scores on the Praxis I Academic Skills Test.
• Demonstrate proficiencies through the submission of selected assignments associated with courses in the professional education sequence.

Applications for admission to the program are reviewed each semester. Students who do not meet the state mandated 2.750 GPA requirement may file an appeal for admission under the 10 percent rule provided the remaining requirements have been met. Further, students who do not achieve passing scores on all three components of the Praxis I assessment (after a minimum of two attempts) may file an appeal for admission under the 10 percent rule provided that the remaining requirements have been met. The state allows each institution to admit up to 10 percent of its students who have not achieved the required grade point average or passed the Praxis I assessment.
