Spend a Summer Day at Berks

Spend a Summer Day at Penn State Berks (2026) is one of the best ways to experience our campus firsthand and get the information you need to move confidently through your college search. Modeled as an open house-style visit, this event brings together the people and places that shape the Berks experience, so you can explore academics, student life, and next steps all in one visit.

Your day will feature an admissions presentation, including in-depth guidance on the application process and what to expect after you apply. You’ll also learn about Penn State’s more than 275 degree programs and the 20 baccalaureate and associate degrees students can complete entirely at Penn State Berks.

After the presentation, you and your guests will take a full campus tour led by our student Lion Ambassadors, who can share what it’s really like to live and learn at Berks. This program concludes with a sweet Berks tradition: Penn State’s famous Berkey Creamery ice cream.

• 8:45 - 10:00am - Academic & Support Offices Fair
