Admitted Students Day is the perfect opportunity for students and families to explore Wagner College and learn more about the first year experience, the Wagner Plan for the Practical Liberal Arts. The day will consist of information sessions, student panels, a campus tour with a current student, a club fair and is followed by
a catered reception with faculty and staff. It is also a great opportunity to mingle with future classmates and in some instances find a roommate.
Overview Days are offered through the Admissions Office on select weekdays throughout the fall and spring semester. These visits consist of an information session by an Admissions Counselor and a campus tour lead by a current student. The event begins at 11:00 am and goes until about 1:00 pm.
On weekdays during the school year, tours typically leave at 10:00 am, 11:15 am, 2:00 pm, and 3:00 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 is discussed on tour. These meetings are separate from interviews and are solely informational.
Our Wagner Experience Day is a great way for admitted students to experience life as a Seahawk. Students will have the opportunity to sit in on a class, take a campus tour, and eat lunch in the dining hall with current students. Families will also have the option to sit with financial aid, meet with academic support, and interact with other staff and faculty members. A typical Wagner Experience Day will begin at 9:00 am and end at 1:00 pm. This event is only for admitted students only.
During select Saturdays during the fall and spring semesters the Office of Admissions offers an information session followed by a student-led campus tour. This day begins at 11:00 am and goes until about 1:00 pm.
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.
