Information Sessions & Campus Tours

Visits to WPI last just over two hours and include an information session followed by a campus tour. On most weekdays there are two options for visitors. Our morning visit begins at 9:30 a.m. and afternoon visit begins at 1 p.m. (On certain high volume visit days a third time option is added.) Please refer to our daily visit calendar and register in advance if you plan to join us.

Your visit will begin with an information session which is an introduction to WPI and overview of the admissions process. The information session is led by an admissions staff member and student intern. We'll discuss important details of the undergraduate academic program and details on the application and admission process.

Following the information session, current WPI students will take you on a walking tour of our campus. On tour, you'll see academic buildings, classrooms, the library, a residence hall, the dining hall, our Sports & Recreation Center, and the Campus Center. Your tour guides will talk about their experiences as WPI students, and you may ask them questions about what it is like to attend WPI.

In addition, student visitors who are here at 12 noon on weekdays are treated to lunch with a WPI student host. (Discount coupons are available for family members.)

On specific days luncheon discussions with faculty, students, and staff will be offered on a variety of academic topics.  Current options include:

  • April School Vacation Week (April 15th-19th):
    Please join us for special engineering sessions at 3PM throughout the week.  On Monday and Friday current WPI students will discuss their “path” and their engineering experiences during “Engineering Pathways”.  On Tuesday and Thursday faculty and staff will provide an insight to all the engineering disciplines offered at WPI during “Engineering Overview”.  Please register in advance.  When choosing to visit on one of these special days an option to register will appear on your registration form.  
  • Pre-Health Programs (First Monday of each month.)
    Please check back soon for additional options.
