Prologue to Ursinus 2018

One of the seven pillars of Ursinus College's strategic plan is to Intensify our commitment to diversity and inclusion. The Office of Admission hosts Prologue to Ursinus: Diversity Overnight Program (Prologue) in the fall to introduce prospective applicants to Ursinus's campus, student body, faculty, classes, and residence halls. Up to 100 students may be selected to attend.

Prologue to Ursinus is available to all prospective students, but the Prologue selection committee prioritizes the invitation of students from traditionally under-represented groups, such as African-American, Hispanic/Latino American, Native American, and Asian-American backgrounds, as well as first-generation students. To support socio-economic diversity, the selection committee will also prioritize students from families with limited financial resources, regardless of cultural or racial background. The above-mentioned are priorities, but are not meant to imply any exclusivity regarding the program or selection process. Should you have an interest in attending, we encourage you to apply no matter your demographic or economic background.
