Students and families can also learn how Bucks makes college education affordable and accessible.

Plus, more than $600,000 in scholarships are available each year.

“We are looking forward to welcoming the community to our beautiful campus, allowing them to explore our modern facilities, and provide an opportunity to connect with our deans and distinguished faculty during their visit,” said Jody Seutter, vice president for enrollment management and vice provost.
