Graduate Student Visits
AAP encourages all prospective graduate students interested in architecture, art, and planning to visit the campus.
To plan a visit, contact the individual departments directly.
Information sessions are offered on Monday and Friday mornings at 10:10 a.m. from May through mid-November. You must register for an information session online in order to attend. If you have questions about registering for an AAP Information Session, please email aap-admissions@cornell.edu.
All of the undergraduate colleges at Cornell conduct group information sessions. Students interested in academic programs in the other colleges at the university are welcome to register and attend. In addition, the Undergraduate Admissions Office offers general group information sessions throughout much of the year. These general sessions provide a broad overview of Cornell and the admissions and financial aid processes.
To plan a visit, contact the individual departments directly.
Interview requests can be made beginning in August for undergraduate or graduate admission.
Available most Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays, the tours last just under an hour and are designed to provide an overview of the entire Cornell campus. Prospective students should review the calendar of walking tours very carefully before planning a visit.
A visit to the art and architecture studios in Olive Tjaden Hall, Milstein Hall, Rand Hall, and The Foundry, where students spend much of their time, is an ideal opportunity to talk with current undergraduates about their experiences and get their impressions of life in the college. Prospective students can also attend a class in a relevant subject area.
Prospective students interested in visiting the campus should follow the directions outlined above to plan their visit to campus. If you have extenuating circumstances or require additional support, you may call the AAP Office of Admissions and Academic Services at (607) 255-4376 for assistance.
