YIELD!

YIELD- our favorite word here in the Admissions Office. In the spring we spend a good amount of our time "yielding" students- also known as turning an accepted student into a Stonehill student! We try our best to offer a variety of programming to suit the needs of every accepted student- whether you're interested in Science, Business, Liberal Arts or you're just confused! Why come to an open house? Obvious answer- free food.....I kid. It doesn't matter what schools you're considering- you need to revisit! I have a feeling that a lot of you visited dozens of schools last year and they're all starting to run together. Am I right? Revisiting will give you a chance to have a fresh view of a school while also learning more about specific programs that may be of interest to you. Our open houses are pretty specific as well. For example: during the Science Open House you'll meet science faculty, listen to a student panel, sit in on a mock class and tour campus. This enables students who have previously toured or attended a group information session to get a different view of campus and learn more specifics about their probable major. Below are a list of the upcoming open houses and information on how to register.

April 7 - Business Open House
April 9 - Science Open House
April 11 - Liberal Arts/Undeclared Open House

Days at the Hill (smaller open houses that are divided according to major)
April 14 - Visual & Performing Arts, Education, Communication & Math
April 15 - Undeclared, Foreign Languages, English, Political Science & International Studies
April 16 - Health Care Administration & History
April 21 - American Studies, Catholic Studies, Gender Studies, Multidisciplinary Studies, Philosophy, Public Administration, Religious Studies, Criminology, Psychology & Sociology
April 23 - Economics, Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Business, Undecided, Environmental Studies

You may sign up for an open house using the links provided above or by calling the main admissions line at 508-565-1373.

If you would like a different type of experience, Stonehill also offers Accepted Student Class Visits where accepted students are assigned a host to shadow for the day. During a typical Class Visit an accepted student will eat lunch in the caf, attend a class or two and go on tour with their assigned host. This is a really great way to see a "day in the life" of a real Stonehill College student!

The Class Visit dates are listed below. Please have a date or two in mind as well as an idea as to what type of class you would like to attend. Science students: due to limited lab space and liability, we ask that you make all efforts to attend the Science Open House on April 9th rather than trying to book a Class Visit. We have extremely limited space in science classes and we cannot guarantee availability.

Please call at least two weeks in advance to schedule a Class Visit or modify an existing reservation at 508-565-1373. Space is limited so please call as far in advance as possible so that we can be sure to accommodate you!
