Marshall University
The literal 'test-optional' label comes from the University College page rather than the primary freshman admissions page, which describes conditional admission without test scores in detail but doesn't use that exact term.
Data sourced from IPEDS, College Scorecard, for the record as a whole — figures marked with a star are sourced separately, as noted at the bottom of the page. Deadlines checked against the college's own pages on Oct 18, 2026.

College Scorecard (latest.cost.net_price.public.by_income_level.*), 2024
Every school is required to publish a net price calculator. It asks about your family's finances and returns an estimate for you specifically, which is worth more than any average on this page. Your school counselor and the college's financial aid office can also help.
Scholarships and merit aid
We don't have a confirmed note on merit scholarships at this school. Check its financial aid pages rather than assuming either way.
