If you are a high school student, you can apply to Marshall University as an Early Admission student — and start earning college credits before you graduate from high school! (If you are not currently enrolled in high school, please visit our Admissions page for other application options.)
Marshall University offers a variety of Early Admissions coursework options for qualified high school students. Prior to graduating from high school, you can apply to Marshall for early college credit on either a full or part-time basis and can enroll in classes offered online or in person.
