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. In-person campus visits are not available March 2 through 14, and we look forward to sharing more on-campus in-person options soon!
Admitted Student Options
Get to know Valpo just a little bit better before you commit! Keep an eye out for information about future in-person on-campus Admitted Student Days.
On March 29 we will host our second Virtual Admitted Student Day in the afternoon just for you, and An Evening with Valpo for your Parents. Registration has not yet gone live.
COVID’s influence prevents us from planning events too far in advance, so we cannot yet announce the format of our April events.
However we have quite a few unique virtual events planned for both you AND your parents! Go here to check them out!
H.S. 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. Appointments are not available March 2 through 14 but will resume March 15.
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 later in the Spring Semester. Responding to COVID guidelines, enrollment will be limited and registration required. Check back in February 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.
