Big Opportunity, Close-Knit Community
Marshall University provides you with a world of opportunity (study abroad programs, top-notch facilities, undergraduate research programs, and more) within a close-knit and nurturing environment. Classes are small (average size, 23 students) so you and your professor can get to know each other. We have living/learning communities in the residence halls so that you are close to people in similar majors; a study group is never more than a couple of rooms away! Whether you’re travelling to Europe to perform with the Jazz Ensemble or making a new scientific discovery alongside one of our faculty members, you will learn and experience more than you thought possible at Marshall, and you’ll be doing it with people who become your family away from home!
Safe, Secure and Compact Campus
Is your campus safe? This is one of the most common questions we get, and the answer is an unequivocal “Yes!” With 22 full-time campus police officers who patrol campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, our campus is among the safest in the nation. Our police officers offer 24-hour escort service on campus, so you never have to walk from the library to your room by yourself after a late-night study session. And because our campus is approximately 14 square blocks, an officer can usually respond to a call from one of our 19 help phones in two minutes or less.

Exceptional Quality, Exceptional Value
Marshall University strives to keep tuition affordable for all students; in 2008 our in-state tuition was $800 less than the national average for public, four-year institutions. And the tuition and fees you pay provide you with a wealth of resources, far beyond just your time in the classroom. Tickets to all home sporting events and our Marshall Artists Series, one-on-one and online tutoring, access to the Marshall Recreation Center and more are provided to all full-time students. We also pride ourselves on the high-quality of instruction that you receive from our dedicated faculty members. Ninety-one percent of them hold a Ph.D. or the highest degree in their field, and they are actively involved in the local, national, and global academic communities.
