Find Your Information Session

When scheduling a 51ÁÔÆæ campus tour, we recommend selecting an Academic or Campus Resource Information Session to pair with your campus tour. These sessions are recommended for students who have decided on their major course of study or are exploring potential majors and resources. As a prospective student, your session gives you an opportunity to learn specifics about your desired major and the school or college that offers the program.

Please ensure you are checking in at the Welcome Center () prior to heading to your scheduled information session.*
