A Visit Is Worth a Thousand Words
We can talk to you all day about the quality of Valpo’s academic programs, the commitment of our faculty to your success, or the way you’ll feel right at home as soon as you get to campus. But there’s nothing like chatting with current staff and students and taking a guided tour to really get to know Valpo.
We look forward to seeing you on campus soon!
Admitted Student Options
Get to know Valpo just a little bit better before you commit! We’re planning virtual as well as in-person/on-campus Admitted Student events.
On April 17 we will host an in-person/on-campus Admitted Student Day (2 options). This event includes focused discussions on specific academic programs. Registration is limited to one student plus one guest, and COVID procedures (masks at all times, social distancing) will be followed. Registration is now closed as we are filled to capacity.
Join us for a Virtual Admitted Student Night on April 19! (REGISTER HERE) or sign up for a Personal Visit on April 24 that is reserved specifically for admitted students (you can register for the information session and tour HERE).
Parents, join us at For Parents Only: An Evening With Valpo on April 20! REGISTER HERE!
H.S. Juniors, Seniors & Transfer Students: Make a Personal Visit
Our personal visits are reserved for high school seniors, juniors and transfer students. Your visit will include a walking campus tour and conversation with an admission counselor, and you must register in advance.
Please note that appointments are required for those coming in to the Admission Office. If you do not have an appointment, you may stop at the Duesenberg Welcome Center adjacent to the main entrance on U.S. 30 and pick up a self-guided tour from the acrylic box outside of the main door.
The Virtual Valpo Experience
In response to the COVID-19 effect on our nation, and recognizing the inability for many families to travel, Valpo provides the best experience in your college search journey as possible, including a virtual tour, videos from across campus, and live information sessions. Bring your friends and family members to join you during these sessions.
Introduction to Valpo Day for H.S. Seniors & Transfer Students
We hope to offer Intro to Valpo Days for high school and transfer students this Summer. Responding to COVID guidelines, enrollment will be limited and registration required. Check back in May to see if we have been able to plan these dates yet.
In the meantime, consider a personal visit or go to your admission counselor’s page and set up a 1-on-1 virtual conversation!
Explore Engineering
Did you know Valpo’s Undergraduate Engineering Program has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top in our nation?
If you’ve not been to campus yet, a personal visit is a great way to experience Valpo Engineering. You’ll chat with an admission counselor and take a campus tour that walks through our engineering facilities & interactive labs. And Valpo’s faculty would love to meet with you — if not in person, then virtually! Email Assistant Dean Laura Sanders to set up this faculty conversation (laura.sanders@valpo.edu).
Explore Nursing & Health Professions
For over 50 years, the Valparaiso University College of Nursing and Health Professions has been committed to preparing professionals to use their roles to transform health and health care systems. Now, more than ever, our graduates are needed to meet the needs of people all over the globe. In fact, U.S. News and World Report recently published “The 25 Best Jobs in 2020” and majors within the College of Nursing and Health Professions were prominent within the top fifteen jobs listed.
H.S. Seniors and transfer students may schedule a Personal Visit to campus and request a zoom conversation with a faculty representative.
