For Admitted Students
The first step to becoming a McKendree Bearcat is submitting the application and getting admitted. Once you have done that, then what? Well, then it's time to make an important decision about your future. The future where you'll master your major; the future where you'll confirm your calling; the future where you'll make your mark. In order to determine whether McKendree University is the place where you will do all of that, we believe you must visit campus. We have many visit options; join us for a Preview Day or let us personalize a visit for you.
