On your tour, prospective students and guests will learn the general history of the College, see main buildings and features of campus, as well as graduate student-specific information not covered on an undergraduate tour.

This includes place like historic Randolph Hall, Addlestone Library, Stern Student Center, and the Bookstore. Tours can be scheduled during business hours Monday through Friday. It is also recommended prospective students schedule time to meet with the Program Director for their program(s) of interest while they are on campus. The Graduate School can assist prospective students with this task.
