蘑菇传媒

Work with your student to determine their needs and desires for their college experience to begin narrowing down the field. Make a list of universities you鈥檙e interested in learning more about. You can always add and subtract names, but try to keep a list of five or fewer potential colleges. These are the schools you will want to apply to, visit and spend significant time researching.

When your student has their list of colleges decided, check out the universities鈥� websites for details about admission deadlines and any benefits offered to early applicants.

If you and your student believe they could flourish at 蘑菇传媒, we invite you to apply for rolling admission. Notification of admission begins as early as September 18.

Once your student receives their admissions materials, you鈥檒l likely want to visit campuses鈥攅ven those you鈥檝e been to before.

Our admitted student visit days, hosted by 蘑菇传媒 president Dr. Phil Schubert, are designed to address your family鈥檚 specific needs and to connect your student with future classmates. This visit goes beyond buildings and classrooms; you鈥檒l meet professors, experience Chapel and see firsthand how the 蘑菇传媒 community will welcome and take responsibility for your student.

College is a huge investment. One year鈥檚 tuition and fees vary widely between institutions. However, that number isn鈥檛 the whole story: your student鈥檚 costs will shrink as they receive scholarships (awarded by the university and outside sources) and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (). FAFSA will open in December.

Many colleges direct their communication to students only, but we believe that choosing a university is a family conversation.聽You know your student鈥檚 strengths, hopes and dreams. We encourage you to talk with your student about academic rigor and the importance of Christian professors who will know their name, enjoy meals with them and remain committed to their success.

You may also wish to highlight the importance of making lifelong friends from across the world with whom they are united by similar beliefs and values. Ask what type of education will help your student connect their chosen career path with the purpose that God has for their life. We believe these conversations will allow your family to feel confident in your student鈥檚 college selection, wherever it may lead them.

Choosing a college is an important decision that will literally鈥攊n ways big and small鈥攁ffect the rest of your student鈥檚 life. We are praying alongside you, and we鈥檙e here to answer any questions that arise about your student鈥檚 college opportunities.

Congratulations! You鈥檝e taken the time and steps necessary to make an informed decision that will encourage your student鈥檚 success. Now, buy out the university鈥檚 bookstore鈥攕tick a decal on your car, wear a hat, sport your sweatshirt鈥攁nd be proud.
