Schedule a visit

On-campus visits 

We are pleased to offer on-campus visits for students and their families. Our campus visits include a presentation, 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. 

Prospect visits

Our prospect visits are a great way to get to know Penn State Beaver for students who have not yet applied to Penn State. The presentation includes information about academics, student life, student aid, and athletics. We also provide an overview of the application process and leave time for a brief Q&A to answer your questions. Attendees are eligible to receive an application fee waiver.  

Accepted student visits

Students who have been admitted to Penn State are invited to attend one of our Accepted Student Programs to get first-hand experience of life as a Penn Stater. These visits provide newly admitted students the chance to explore campus, talk with current students, and learn more about the next steps to becoming a Penn Stater. 

Individual visits

One-on-one appointments and tours with an admissions counselor are also available Monday through Thursday upon request. Please call the Admissions Office at 724-773-3800 for information.

Admissions events

Penn State Beaver offers in-person 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 reviews with an admissions counselor. For more information, view our Visit Experiences page.
