Choose UCM Days
Choose UCM Days are back! Designed with high school students and counselors in mind, our signature group visit event is your chance to explore campus, connect with our community, and find out why UCM is the right fit for you.

Select a category below to see what's included in every Choose UCM Day.
Every Choose UCM Day is built around your school's schedule, not the other way around. Students spend the day connecting with UCM faculty, staff, and current students while exploring academic programs and resources, campus, and student life, then customize their own afternoon (see Build Your Own Pathway below).
All attending students and chaperones eat free in our dining hall. If your group would rather grab something like Chick-fil-A instead, that option is available on the registration form. Just note that alternate options come at an additional cost per person.
Browse UCM's academic programs and student resources in one place at our interactive academic browsing fair.
