Virtual Campus Tour
We’d love to have you visit us in person — and hope you will — but if you can’t make it to campus just yet, this tour will give you a good sense of the place.
Spring Open House Days
We invite you and your family to enjoy a spring day with Wooster’s spirited students and staff. All ages of high school students are encouraged to attend. As our guest, you will enjoy a tour of campus, a candid student panel discussion, meeting staff from our Advising, Planning, and Experiential Learning center (APEX), and an optional admissions and financial aid information session. Depending on current campus health guidelines, weekday events will include a chance to attend class.
Scot Saturdays
You’ll interact with more than a dozen Wooster students as they lead an extended tour of campus. Guests will see classrooms, the Scot Center athletic facility, and our Collaborative Research Environment and APEX (Wooster’s hub for academic advising, internships, off-campus study, and career planning). The day includes optional lunch for visiting students.* This program is ideal for first-time visitors looking for a general introduction to Wooster.
