Group Visits

DFC Group Visits are a great way to introduce a group of high school juniors and/or seniors to the Dougherty Family College and the resources available to them. Group Visits are hosted on our Minneapolis campus on select days during the academic year. We are unable to accommodate group visits for freshmen, sophomores or middle school students. 

Our winter and spring 2024 group visits have been filled. Our fall 2024 group visit will open later this summer. If you have any questions reach out to Erica Embury (Associate Director of Admissions) at erica.embury@stthomas.edu.
