ACADEMIC SESSIONS

Join Deans, Faculty, and current students for each major to learn more about coursework, research opportunities, and internship/study abroad requirements (when applicable). 

LIVING IN COMMUNITY

A residence hall is more than just a place to sleep. Learn more about Residence Life at Wheaton - intentional community, fun events, and support structures for students. 

CHRIST AT THE CORE

Learn about our general education curriculum and the intersection of faith and learning at Wheaton.

STUDY ABROAD

Hear from the Global Programs and Studies Office (GPS) about international semester and summer opportunities, and learn more about Wheaton's unique 'Human Needs and Global Resources' (HNGR) program.

CENTER FOR VOCATION AND CAREER (CVC) OPEN HOUSE

The CVC prepares students for life after Wheaton. Their robust curriculum covers your freshmen year (self-discovery, StrengthsFinders, career options) through your senior year (resume/interview prep, learning about taxes/benefits, on-campus employer visits) through events, career-coach support, a 'Borrow a Blazer' closet, and the latest in tech for virtual interviews. Tour the CVC space and meet staff and student ambassadors!

We are excited to host admitted students on campus - we know that seeing what life is like in the residence halls is an important part of your college decision! Our volunteer hosts look forward to welcoming you into the world of Residence Life in our two underclassman residence halls. 

Students will be asked if they would like to stay overnight in the residence halls when they register for My Wheaton Days. Overnight hosting will be assigned on a first come, first served basis and, while every effort will be made to accommodate all requests, overnight hosting cannot be 100% guaranteed. 

Travel Assistance may be available for those traveling from out of state.
