Have any questions about applying to Carroll? During your visit to campus you will meet with your Admission Counselor who will tell you more about Carroll, answer any of your questions, and walk you through the application process.

Ever wonder what it’s like to take a course at one of the Northwest’s best liberal arts colleges? While you’re on campus you can sit in on a class of your choice! You will get a taste of our small class sizes and see first-hand the enthusiasm our talented professors bring to the classroom. The Admission Office will help you find a class that fits your visiting schedule.

If you have any particular questions about one of our academic departments, we encourage you to meet with a professor while you’re on campus (depending on availability). Our professors will field any questions, explain Carroll’s curriculum, and describe the many career possibilities available to a student who has earned a Carroll degree.

We understand food is an important factor when making your college decision. So, have a meal on us! During your visit our student ambassadors will take you to lunch in our dining hall. We offer a diverse, buffet-style food selection including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. While you eat feel free to ask our student ambassadors any lingering questions!

While on campus take the time to address the financial aspect of the college decision process. You’ll have the opportunity to meet with one of our Financial Aid Officers who will explain all of the scholarships, loan opportunities, and assistance packages available to incoming students.

2. Visit Days

Our Open House Visit Days are held in the spring and fall. These events are a great way for you to take it all in, see how our campus comes alive, and meet other students who, like you, are thinking about making Carroll their college home.  The agenda includes an optional campus tour, and panels with current faculty, staff, and students. 

3. President's Scholarship Recognition

This is your chance to be honored for your academic achievements, receive your Carroll scholarship, and visit the Carroll College campus. Occurs in February each year. 

4. Future Saint Fridays

Admitted Student Open Houses are for students who have been admitted to Carroll and offer an excellent opportunity for you to finalize any remaining details on getting enrolled. You'll learn more about our academic programs, student activities, and exceptional educational experiences in and out of the classroom. It’s also a great chance to meet and make friends with fellow incoming students. 

Nothing can do justice to experiencing Carroll as a student. But by visiting our campus, you'll get to feel the energy and take in the breathtaking beauty of our setting in the Rocky Mountains. And you'll maybe even create a few memorable moments of your own.
