Students exploring their college options will once again have the chance to experience Dubuque’s vibrant higher education community during the fifth annual Dubuque College Visit Week, happening Monday, July 28 through Friday, August 1, 2025.
Clarke University, Emmaus University, Loras College, Northeast Iowa Community College, and the University of Dubuque are collaborating once more to provide prospective students with in-person visit opportunities that highlight what makes each campus, and Dubuque as a whole, an exceptional place to live and learn.
“Dubuque is incredibly fortunate to have five colleges, all different, all essential, shaping the future of our city, region, and beyond,” said Maria Gentile, Vice President for Enrollment & Marketing at Loras College. “Visiting is a perfect first step in finding the right fit.”
Throughout the week, students can expect guided tours with student ambassadors, one-on-one conversations with professors in their areas of interest, information about campus life and activities, and meetings with admissions teams who are ready to answer any questions about the application process.
Whether you’re just starting your search or narrowing down your top choices, Dubuque College Visit Week is the perfect way to explore what each of the five institutions has to offer.
