St. Andrews Presbyterian College will welcome prospective students and their families to the first admissions open house of the year this Saturday.

Activity begins at 9 a.m. with registration and a brief meet-and-greet session with faculty members in the Morgan Jones Science Building.

At 10 a.m., participants will enjoy a simulated classroom experience with the faculty. A tour of the campus and lunch will follow.

As with all the St. Andrews Open Houses, an optional equestrian tour will be offered from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. at the 300-acre St. Andrews Equestrian Center.

Open House participants are invited to stay through the afternoon and attend the various events occurring as a part of Family Weekend at St. Andrews. Among the events on the schedule are athletic events, an equestrian competition and a student art show in the Vardell Gallery.

Anyone interested in attending the Open House is asked to pre-register, although there is no cost to participate. Pre-registration can be done online at www.sapc.edu or by calling admissions at 800-763-0198.

In addition to classes on the main campus, adult learners also choose the Center for Adult and Professional Studies opportunities through St. Andrews at Sandhills and St. Andrews online.
