Visit Options for Graduate Students

The best way to learn about graduate school is to see it for yourself and schedule a visit.

We offer in-person tours on select weekdays and times throughout the year. You can also meet with an admissions counselor via Zoom.

Many of our graduate programs offer information sessions where you can talk to the program coordinator and faculty who will be your mentors.
