On-campus visits
We are pleased to offer on-campus visits for students and their families. Our campus visits include a presentation, a campus tour, and an optional meal in our Brodhead Bistro dining facility. Campus visits typically take 2 hours, not including the optional meal on campus. Note: The optional meal is not offered for visits scheduled during the summer.
These visit opportunities are available most Fridays throughout the year and are scheduled for 10:30 a.m. or 2:00 p.m.
One-on-one appointments and tours with an admissions counselor are also available Monday through Thursday upon request.
Admissions events
Penn State Beaver offers in-person and virtual admissions events throughout the year. These programs, such as open houses and application workshops, offer more opportunities to experience the campus. Our open houses include faculty interaction and student panels, while our application workshops provide one-on-one application review with an admissions counselor. For more information, view our Visit Experiences page.
