We invite you to share in our community and see for yourself what makes WashU so special.
Whether you are just starting your college search or you already know that WashU is the place for you, we’re excited to connect with you and share in your college journey.
Check out our in-person and virtual visit options below – you can hear from current students, explore our beautiful campus, learn about our academic and extracurricular opportunities, and more.
In-Person Campus Visits
Campus visits provide an opportunity for prospective students to explore our beautiful campus and connect with our community.
In-person campus visits are offered Monday through Friday and some Saturdays. Your visit will include a 45-minute information session, followed by a 75-minute student-led campus tour. Our information session will provide an overview of WashU, our programs as well as the admission and financial assistance process.
Additional on-campus academic division sessions and/or tours are offered on Mondays and Fridays.
Note: Self-guided tours (using our WashU Visits app) are available May 9 – 17 and August 19-23.
Do you want to take a closer look at WashU’s undergraduate schools? Or are you already interested in a specific area of study? Join us for Academic Theme Days this summer!
These on-campus visits offer in-depth insight into each academic division and life at WashU. Be sure to reserve your spot soon because space is limited.
Special group visits are offered for students in grades 9 through 12.
Please note that sessions and/or tours may be canceled if extreme weather poses a severe risk to visitor, staff, or student safety.
