Undergraduate Admissions

Marshall University’s new Metro tuition rate makes college more affordable for residents of over 100 counties in Kentucky and Ohio, offering a significantly reduced out-of-state cost starting as early as Fall 2023—with even more counties included by Fall 2025. With competitive tuition, merit-based scholarships, and a short drive from home, Marshall offers the full college experience at a fraction of the price.

Marshall Direct is breaking down barriers to college by offering eligible high school seniors in participating West Virginia counties direct admission to Marshall University—no application, fees, or test scores required.
