They said undergraduate classes will begin Monday, August 23. The college will also have orientation sessions in June and July with one virtual session.
It's also good news for students interested in study abroad. They're considering some options for the year, including whether students will have the option to study abroad at McDaniel's European campus in Budapest, Hungary.
