Open Houses & Events
In addition to our regular visit options, the Admissions Office offers a variety of special events to give prospective students a more in-depth look at what GW has to offer. These events occur throughout the year and require advance registration.
Engineering and Computer Science Days
Each fall and spring, the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Office of Admissions come together to offer a special visit program for students who have an interest in engineering and computer science. During these programs, students meet professors and current students, tour campus and laboratory facilities and learn more about engineering at GW.
Multicultural Open Houses
Multicultural Open House Programs are offered in the spring and the fall. During each open house, students and their parents have the opportunity to meet professors, administrators and current students; learn about admission, financial aid and merit-based scholarship processes and tour campus. Students may also attend classes.
Admitted Freshman Days
Each April, the Admissions Office hosts a series of open house days to give admitted students an opportunity to see our campus in full bloom. During the visit students meet with deans, faculty and advisors, take campus tours, talk with GW students and preview residence halls.
