Campus Visits
At Dana College we believe the best way to learn about any college is to visit it and we want you to visit us! We will personalize your campus visit to your interests so you can make the most of your time here. Nothing can take the place of a visit to our beautiful campus! Your campus visit can be as long as 3-4 hours or as short as your time allows. Tours last approximately one hour. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes.

Individual visits are welcome Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. We prefer that you give us two or three weeks notice in order to accommodate your specific interests.

Meet with an Admissions Counselor
Our Admissions Counselors are ready to share Dana with you and answer your questions. While they will spend a lot of time telling you about Dana College, you can expect that your Admissions Counselor will also want to learn about your interests and accomplishments.

Meet with a Faculty member
By meeting with a faculty member in the academic area of your interest, you will learn about what we expect from our students academically and what makes that particular major unique at Dana College. Our faculty want to get to know who you are and share with you how Dana College can help you realize your educational goals. Just let us know what academic area(s) interests you and we’ll schedule it for you.

Meet with an Activity Director
Are you in choir? Do you play an instrument? Have you wanted to participate in musical theatre, but didn’t have the chance? Do you want to continue playing your sport on the intercollegiate level? If so, let us know, so we can make appointments for you to meet with faculty in performing arts and/or the coach of your sport. If you would like to meet with any other offices on campus, we are ready to schedule those appointments for you.

The Campus Tour
The student-guided campus tour will help you to experience and understand the community spirit that exists at Dana. You'll get the scoop on our academic facilities and a few historical notes about the campus, and maybe a personal anecdote or two. You'll also tour a residence hall.

Lunch in the Dana College Dining Hall
You and your family/friends are invited to be our guests in the dining hall and have a chance to meet and see our students.
