College Experience Tours
We’re thrilled to offer students our College Experience tours! During these tours, students get to meet with a College Enrollment Coordinator to learn all about the college, program, and course requirements for their major. They’ll also have the chance to connect with a faculty member in their chosen field and explore the facilities and classrooms. It’s a fantastic opportunity for students to ask questions and make well-informed decisions about their future careers.

We are excited to provide students with a more in-depth experience on campus through our College Experience Tours! Students will meet with one of our College Enrollment Coordinators, who will provide in-depth information on the college, program, and course requirements of your major. Additionally, the College Enrollment Coordinator will take you to visit a faculty member within your chosen field and look at the facilities, labs, and/or classrooms where your classes will take place! It is your chance to ask the questions you want to know the answers to so you can make an informed decision on your future career trajectory.

confirm availability, as we have limited capacities. Once we receive your email, your program’s College Enrollment Coordinator will contact you to schedule your tour!
