Campus Visitation
Rosemont College is a close-knit community that takes pride in providing its students with a challenging, yet nurturing, learning environment. Because the personal connection is so important to the success of our students, we believe strongly that a visit to campus is an integral part of the admissions process. A number of Campus Visit Day programs are held throughout the autumn and spring. Personal interviews are available most weekdays and on some Saturday mornings. A campus tour, led by a current student, will provide you with another perspective on the Rosemont experience. Classroom visits and overnight stays may also be scheduled. All arrangements for campus visit opportunities can be made by email the Office of Admissions or by calling 1.888.2ROSEMONT.
