Virtual Info Sessions are live events with an Admission Officer that are 30-45 minutes in length.  Prospective students can use their phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.

Register for a Daily Visit

Pre-Knob

Pre-Knob Overnight Visits.  Under normal circumstances, the Pre-Knob Program serves as a rare opportunity for a non-cadet to observe the cadet lifestyle firsthand. In addition to receiving a Knob host, Pre-Knobs spend the night in the barracks, eat in the Mess Hall, and attend classes.

preknobParents usually also receive a special orientation program geared specifically toward future knob parents (information on academics, financial aid, cadet lifestyle, etc.).

Eligibility.  Fall Pre-Knob events: Open to any one who has applied for admission (acceptance is not required).  Spring Pre-Knob events: Reserved for accepted applicants.

Unfortunately, as a result of COVID-19, the Office of Admissions is not currently expecting to host any overnight visit programs.  In place of the Pre-Knob Program, other virtual engagement opportunities may be announced soon. 

 

High School Group Visits: Student groups are welcome to request a weekday Virtual Info Session.  Such events include a short information presentation prior to a Q&A session with a current cadet.  To arrange a virtual visit for your high school group, please contact Major Jeff Price in the Office of Admissions.

The Four Pillars

The Citadel Experience begins with the four pillars of learning:

Academics Thumbnail

ACADEMICS
The Citadel’s rigorous academic program offers cadets more than 20 majors and 30 minors that are critical in today’s society. Small classes, challenging faculty, and a wide array of educational support services provide guidance and tutoring for cadets to fulfill their highest academic potential.
 
Military Thumbnail

MILITARY
Freshmen cadets are immersed in intense military training that continues throughout all four years of cadet life. Cadets are also required to complete four years of military training in the ROTC branch of their choice. These experiences arm cadets with the time-management, discipline and teamwork skills necessary to succeed in both military and civilian careers.

 
Physical

FITNESS
Studies shows that physical fitness helps improve academic performance. The physical fitness pillar requires cadets to meet fitness standards and to participate in regular physical training. Division I athletics and club sports provide additional opportunities to develop teamwork skills in a competitive environment.
 
Moral Ethical

CHARACTER
Principled leadership training teaches cadets the value of integrity and moral character in everyday life. The Krause Center for Leadership and Ethics oversees the four-year leader development model which integrates leadership training into the cadet curriculum and gives cadets a competitive advantage that their peers from traditional colleges don’t have.
