Before scheduling your visit ...
You will sign up separately for each program you want to attend. Admissions visits run regularly; academic visits vary. Campus visits don't affect admission decisions, but you'll be glad you came!
All Visits
Explore all of our in-person visit options by date! This calendar includes visits hosted by Admissions as well as our academic communities. In most cases, a variety of visit programs are offered each day. If you're interested in attending multiple programs, make sure to sign up for each one separately.
