Adventist colleges campus visit guide

Throughout the school year, Adventist colleges and universities offer mulitple opportunities for you to learn more about their campuses through a campus visit.

You can jump right to individual college visit dates using these links:

Planned Preview Event Or Individual Campus Visit?

You can take advantage of a planned preview event or request a reservation for an individual campus visit. Both have important advantages and disadvantages.

A planned preview event will give you opportunities to mix with other families who are exploring the college, and you may also enjoy special music programs or other activities scheduled just for the event.

An individual campus visit, on the other hand, may give you opportunities to see the campus in a more personalized and sometimes less structured way.

Either way, the table below has all the dates and details you'll need to get started.
