Freshman Campus Visits & Tours

Get to Know Gael Nation

In addition to holding campus tours six days a week, we have many specialized events throughout the year for groups such as high school juniors and college counselors. During the basketball season, we even have tours that culminate in complementary tickets to our home games!

We encourage prospective students to take advantage of a one-on-one interview with an admissions counselor. During the meeting, you will have the opportunity to have all of your questions addressed, and receive personalized guidance on the college admissions process.
