The Citadel is open to the public year-round, and you are strongly encouraged
to visit the college before you decide to attend. The Office of Admissions offers
three types of visits, Pre-Knob Overnight
Visits, Friday Afternoon Visits, and
individual visits.
Pre-Knob Overnight
Visits
are scheduled throughout the school year and are the most effective way to determine
if The Citadel is the best college choice for you. During overnight visits,
you will go to classes, eat in the mess hall, sleep in the barracks, and participate
in other aspects of cadet life. As an overnight visitor, you will be assigned
a cadet host for your stay. These overnight visits are restricted to those
students who have been academically accepted for admission. Click here
for additional information, dates, and an on-line reservation form.
Friday Afternoon Visits
are designed for those academically accepted students who can not make
one of the premier Pre-Knob Overnight Visits. During this visit, parents and
students will receive an orientation from members of the Staff and Corps of
Cadets. It culminates in a cadet led tour of the campus and an invitation to
observe a dress parade of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets (weather and schedule
permitting.) Click here for additional
information, dates, and an on-line reservation form.

interested students and their families and include an interview with an admissions
counselor and a campus tour guided by a Citadel cadet. Appointments are available
