1 pm Weekday Tours
The admissions team and student ambassadors host undergraduate tours of the Tyler School of Art and Architecture on weekdays at 1 pm.
Each Tour Takes About an Hour
- A small group setting, where you receive personal attention and answers
- Access to our state-of-the-art classrooms and studio spaces for all fine arts and built environments creators
- Insights into opportunities for cross-discipline engagement with faculty and peers
- Details on the transformational one-year foundations program for first-year arts students and two-year foundations program for many first-year architecture students
Self-Guided Tours
If you cannot fit a guided tour into your schedule, we provide a map of the buildings and invite you to look around on your own. If one is available, you may also speak with a counselor before or after your tour.
