The Education Preparedness Program at 蜜桃影像 (EPP) is a college bridge program that helps students jump-start their interest in college whether they have already taken college courses, have never taken a college course, or never thought they would take college courses. Our mission is to create pathways to higher education for currently and formerly incarcerated individuals and to expand traditional boundaries of higher education through collaboration across the Milwaukee community.

The EPP is an initiative of Marquette鈥檚 Center for Urban Research, Teaching, and Outreach (CURTO) within the College Of Arts and Sciences. We prioritize community-immersive practices that break down barriers and facilitate collaborative learning for personal and social transformation.
