The Campus Visit Day is the most extensive visit option offered at Wagner. Students will have the opportunity to speak with faculty, staff and current students.

On weekdays during the summer tours typically leave at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm. These student-led tours will last approximately one hour, and afterward students are encouraged to meet with an Admissions Counselor to answer questions and go into greater depth than what is discussed on tour. These meetings are separate from interviews and are solely informational.
After students apply, they are encouraged to schedule an interview with their Admissions Counselor. Interviews are both informational and evaluative, and can be conducted either on campus, over the phone, or via Skype. Typically, a student will interview to add qualitative and anecdotal information to otherwise objective criteria.
For school counselors or college advisors that would like to schedule a group visit, please complete the form for our College Readiness Presentation and Tour. This program is hosted through the Center for Leadership and Community Engagement.
During the fall, our Admissions Staff will be traveling around the United States meeting with students and Guidance Counselors. Our staff would love to meet with you during one of our events. Please review the online schedule of college fairs and private high school visits.
