What will I do during my customized visit?
That really depends on you and your interests. We will build the day around what you want to major in, what you like to do, and who you'd like to speak with during your visit to campus. Once you sign up for a visit, we'll call you to work out the details.
Generally speaking, every visit will include a visit with a faculty member in your field, current UIU students, and even some alumni. And let's not forget the campus tour.
