Open House

Designed for high schoolers just starting the college search, seniors making their final decision and everyone in between, we invite you and your family to join us for an Open House! This day-long program provides you and your family the opportunity to receive an in-depth look at the Mount’s academic programs, admissions and financial aid information and various organizations on campus. Meet potential classmates, explore the Mount’s clubs and activities and see how Mount students are prepared for post-graduation success. This is your day to envision yourself as a member of the Mount community. Open House events also include morning refreshments, lunch and a student-led campus tour.
