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. On-Campus visits to Valparaiso University are available for high school seniors and transfer students during the Fall Semester; registration is required. Others may join us on a virtual visit.
Introduction to Valpo Day for H.S. Seniors & Transfer Students
High school seniors and transfer students may join us for an Introduction to Valpo Day on Friday, December 4. There are four start times available and, to meet our state’s COVID-19 guidelines, enrollment is limited and registration required.
If you can’t wait to visit Valpo, please schedule a personal visit using this visit program’s calendar. Or go to your admission counselor’s page and set up a 1-on-1 virtual conversation!
We hope to offer an event for underclassmen in the Spring Semester.
H.S. Seniors & Transfer Students: Make a Personal Visit
Our personal visits, currently reserved for high school seniors and transfer students, include a walking campus tour and conversation with an admission counselor. Registration is required.
The Virtual Valpo Experience
In response to the COVID-19 effect on our nation, and understanding 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.
Transfer Tuesdays fall on every Tuesday from October 20 through December 15 at 3:00 p.m. Central Time. Register here!
Have you thought about chatting with the Dean of Valpo’s academic college in which you’re interested? That opportunity is coming up! Register here!
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?
We hosted a virtual visit day in October to show off this outstanding college. And there are other virtual opportunities to visit Valpo.
But 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.
Admitted Student Days
Get to know Valpo just a little bit better before you commit. You’ll explore your academic college and attend sessions specific to your major. After lunch with current students, you’ll meet with admissions to talk about financial aid and campus resources. And we’ll have sessions and workshops for your parents, too. Our Admitted Student Days, which are hosted in the Spring Semester, have not yet been scheduled as we wait to see how COVID-19 may influence our visit programs.
Directions and Accommodations
It’s easy to get to Valpo, but sometimes hard to leave. We’re an easy drive from Chicago, and you’ll find lots to do once you’re here. Use these links to plan your visit:
