Visiting Weekends for the 2020–2021 Academic Year
We are so eager to share Principia College with you! We will be unable to offer in-person visiting weekends this fall as a result of the pandemic, but we would love to set you up with a virtual weekend visit. We plan to offer the opportunity to virtually sit in on classes, have virtual meetings with professors and coaches, connect one-on-one with current students and virtual game night with ambassadors and other prospective students. Come learn about and see why Principia attracts students from around the world. Our visit opportunities are open to high school juniors, seniors, transfer students, and parents. Please reach out to your Admissions Counselor or to Assistant Director of Recruiting, Nicole Gervais, with any questions! We hope and expect to have our phenomenal in-person visits again in the Spring.
Principia College Live: Academics & Program Opportunities Virtual Conference
Until in-person visits this fall, join us for Prin Live this summer! Read about and register for events all summer long here. Watch replays of sessions you miss. And of course, don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. Come to one, come to all!
Principia's travel fund pays for all but $50 of students' costs for Visiting Weekends.
