This event includes a centralized welcome hosted by Graduate Admissions and the Office of Graduate Studies, opportunities to connect with campus resources, current graduate students, and university representatives, and—where applicable—program-specific sessions hosted by participating graduate programs. Programming is designed to help you prepare for enrollment, understand next steps, and feel confident in your decision to join the Towson graduate community.

Graduate Facility Tours
When it comes to visiting campus, graduate students are typically more focused on academic facilities, research opportunities, and direct connection with faculty. If you’re interested in seeing the spaces that matter most—labs, centers, clinics, studios, or other departmental facilities, we encourage you to contact the Graduate Program Director for the program that you’re considering. They are the best positioned to coordinate a visit tailored to your program of interest, and to connect you with the appropriate faculty or staff who can show you the state-of-the-art facilities that you want to see, up close. This approach ensures your visit is meaningful and focused on the resources that will shape your graduate student experience at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø.
Self-Guided Tour Option
You can also visit ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø on your own using our interactive self-guided tour.
