Visiting Houghton
There’s nothing like an up-close-and-personal trip to our campus in Western New York to help you determine if Houghton is the right fit for you. We offer three unique visit experiences for students and families, so please take a few moments to explore the various opportunities mentioned below to help you decide which type of visit experience will work best for you and your preferences!
Summer 2013 Visit Opportunities
Fall 2013 Visit Opportunities
Encounter DaysThink "Open House." These days are designed to provide you with an overall first-introduction to Houghton College. If you are thinking about visiting for the first time, an Encounter Day is an excellent choice. This spring's Encounter Days have come and gone - we invite you to schedule an individual visit and check back again for our summer visit dates! |
Opportunity DaysIf you're particularly interested in learning about a specific department or major in-depth, visiting on an Opportunity Day is the way to go. These days allow students and parents the opportunity to participate in visit activities through the lens of some of our departments and majors such as pre-health, music, art, etc.... This spring's Opportunity Days have come and gone - we invite you to schedule an individual visit and check back towards the end of the summer for this fall's Opportunity Days! |
Individual VisitsAn Individual Visit is the ideal choice for students and parents who prefer one-on-one interaction and who have specific requests as to what they would (and would not) like to do during their time on campus. Please keep in mind that an Individual Visit can be scheduled on the same day as an Opportunity Day.
