The campus tour is designed to provide prospective students currently in high school with an exposure to Howard University. The visitor will have the opportunity to interact with our students and faculty, and learn about our programs, and activities. Although Howard University welcomes visitors throughout the entire calendar year, the best time to visit Howard is on a weekday when school is in session. Weekends, Federal holidays, final exam periods, December, May and spring break are times during which visitation activities are suspended or limited.
Campus tour begins promptly at the designated time and lasts approximately two hours.
The tour generally begins with an information session presented by a Recruitment Officer. The presentation includes information about housing, admissions, financial aid, and extracurricular activities. Following the presentation is a walking tour of the University's main campus led by a Student Ambassador. The walking tour includes visits to academic buildings, a library, and a dormitory. Special arrangements can also be made to visit specific departments of Howard University .
