Personalized campus visits & virtual visits

A visit designed just for you!

On a personalized visit, it's all about you. Whether in-person or virtual, you'll meet with approachable faculty in your area of academic interest, and talk one-on-one with an admissions counselor to get your questions about admissions, scholarships and student life answered.

In-person visits include a campus tour led by a current student. You'll get a feel for what life is like at Washburn as you explore our academic buildings, residence halls, dining facilities, library and more. We also encourage you to check out our virtual tour and YouTube channel for additional behind-the-scenes access.

Virtual visits are a flexible option if you can't make it to campus. We offer them via Skype, Zoom, FaceTime, Duo or phone call.
