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 students, talking to a professor, or spending the night in one of our residence halls to really get to know Valpo. Choose the visit that best meets your interests!
Make a Personal Visit (Year-Round)
You make a visit, we’ll make it personal. Take a one-hour walking tour and meet with an admission counselor. If you’re a high school senior, you can even talk to a professor in your area of interest and extend your visit to an overnight stay with a student ambassador and have dinner and breakfast in our dining hall.
Valpo Preview Days (Fall/Spring)
During the academic year, you can join us for a Valpo Preview Day. You’ll take a group tour and attend info sessions that cover everything from academics to admission to student life. Then you can have lunch with current students and faculty before heading home.
