By University Relations Staff

DUBUQUE, Iowa - Prospective students are invited to explore Dubuque's rich history in education by visiting the city's five colleges during the fourth annual Dubuque College Visit Week that will be held Monday, July 29, 2024, through Friday, August 2, 2024.

Clarke University, Emmaus Bible College, Loras College, Northeast Iowa Community College, and the University of Dubuque have partnered once again to offer in-person campus visits during the weeklong celebration showcasing Dubuque's long history of providing students from across the county and from international locations with a diverse choice of higher education opportunities.

"Attending college can transform every aspect of your life, and it is worth it," said Robert Broshous, MBA, vice president of enrollment management and dean of admission at UD. "There is no better way to learn about a college than visiting and seeing the campus in person. The educational opportunities in Dubuque are exceptional and this is a great way to kick off the academic year and your college search process. The experiences students enjoy during Dubuque College Visit Week will serve them well as they begin building a foundation of knowledge from which to choose their dream school and/or career path."

Dubuque College Visit Week is an ideal time for rising high school juniors and seniors to focus on their college plans and get a closeup look at schools on their list with a well-planned, in-person visit to each campus. These visits are an important part of the college search process because a student will be calling their chosen campus "home" for years. There is no better way to learn about a college than visiting the campus and seeing for yourself how the educational experience can be transformative. Dubuque College Visit Week offers prospective students the opportunity to tour campuses with student ambassadors, meet with professors about their academic area of interest, learn about student activities and programs, meet with admission counselors, and more.
