Undergraduate Recruitment

Campus tours will be offered Monday through Friday at 11:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m., and select Saturdays at 11:00 a.m. only. The campus visit will include an information session, led by a recruiter and/or student ambassador, about admissions requirements, financial aid/scholarships, and campus life. Walking tours are approximately 90 minutes long, including the information session.
