Our self-guided tour will give you the option to read, listen, and/or watch all of the information about our beautiful campus and what it looks like to be a Warrior.
When you come to campus, stop by the front of Kerrwood and pick up a self-guided tour packet, ask the security guard or check in with the Admissions Office and we will get everything you need.
