Description

Saturday Academic Showcases are great for students who find it challenging to make it to campus during the week. You will have the opportunity to meet with faculty in each of our academic areas, learn more about the admissions process/scholarships, tour our beautiful campus, and meet with someone from the Financial Assistance Office. During the tour, you will hear from a current student and meet other families visiting in a group setting. All students will receive a free t-shirt!

The 90-minute walking group tour is led by a Northwest Student Ambassador who will share his or her individual experiences about Northwest and some pointers for selecting a university. The average campus tour is a 2-mile walk. If you need help walking this distance, please let us know when scheduling the time and special arrangements can be made.

Both Sept. 12th and Oct. 10th visits offers the opportunity for students and families attending that day to also attend a Bearcat Football game. Tickets are courtesy of the Admissions Office and must be noted in your registration. Kickoff at 1:30PM. 

To learn more about Maryville and plan for your trip, visit https://visitmaryville.org/.

The Admissions Office is not able to assist with athletic recruiting. Please reach out to Bearcat Athletics for prospective student-athlete information.
