Visit Drake

There are many ways to visit Drake University:  

  • an individual campus visit, which allows you to choose the things you want to do: meet with an admission counselor, take a campus tour with a current Drake student, meet with a faculty member (as available), eat lunch in one of Drake's dining halls, and more.  Summer visits include a campus tour and an overview of Drake and the admission process.      
  • a group visit program, such as a Campus Preview Day, which includes a student-guided tour, an academic session with a faculty member, information session with Drake staff and current students, and lunch with Drake representatives.
  • a Saturday visit program, which includes a Drake University overview, student panel, campus tour, and lunch, if desired. 

Mark your calendars for these fall visit programs. Registration will be available soon.
