Want a personal campus visit? You got it!
Visits Tailored to You
The Office of Admissions schedules group visits throughout the year. If you’d prefer a weekday visit customized just for you, we can do that, too.
We will tailor a visit to Baldwin City to match your interests.
Campus Visits
We want to share our special community with you!
During a personalized visit you will meet with your admissions counselor and a professor in your field. Athletes can meet with coaches. You also will get a customized campus tour from a current BU student. If you choose, you can learn more about Baker’s performing arts participation, religious and multicultural life opportunities, or fraternity and sorority life. Thursday-morning visits provide a chance to attend the optional informal chapel service.
