College & School Info Sessions for Prospective Freshmen

Some colleges, schools and programs (like honors programs) offer information sessions, the chance to sit in on classes, and building tours for prospective students and their families. As most of these sessions are not offered each day, you may want to choose a scheduled academic session and plan the rest of your day on campus around that activity.

You’ll be able to sign up for most of these information sessions when you register online for a campus visit. Some sessions and meetings require individual appointments.

If you don't see a session listed below for a college or major you're interested, check with the individual department(s) to find out if they offer special sessions. You may also call the Undergraduate Admissions Center at 512-475-7440 for more information.
