Visit Baker
Immerse yourself in the tree-lined beauty of our tight-knit Baldwin City community. Your future classmates can’t wait to meet you.
Schedule a Campus Visit
Your visit is all about you—your schedule, your preferences, your checklist. Maybe you want a 1-on-1 tour with a stop at the storied Osborne Chapel. Maybe you want to visit with a group of friends. We want you to see Baker in your own way and imagine all the ways your time here will shape you.
Daily Campus Visit
Schedule a Daily Campus Visit to explore our beautiful tree-lined campus and programs personalized to your interests.
During your visit, you'll talk with an admissions counselor, meet with a professor, and experience campus through the eyes of a current Baker student. If you are an athlete, you will have the opportunity to meet with a coach as well.
These individual visits are available every weekday.
Virtual Campus Visit
Students and parents looking for the convenience of a quiet weekend visit can join us during Spring Break.
An admissions presentation and campus tour give families an opportunity to ask questions about programs, financial aid, and Baker history.
High School Group Visit
Juniors and Seniors, come see the Baldwin City campus with your friends and classmates.
On Wednesdays and Thursdays, we host student-led group visits. Together, you’ll meet with an admissions counselor and talk to a panel of current students who once sat where you did.

Stroll through the shade of a 150-year-old arboretum down to Homestead Kitchen & Bakery on Eighth Street. Don your Wildcat threads and take Fremont Street to Liston Stadium for a Saturday football game.
Nestled in the heart of Baldwin City, you’ll find the charm and hospitality of an active, walkable city that lives and breathes Wildcat pride.
And you’re always a short drive away from the arts and culture of Lawrence or the excitement of Kansas City.
