We want you to experience Widener's campus for yourself. You can pick from a variety of visiting options to help you envision your future here.
Our student tour guides will show you around campus so you can hear their stories, learn about their favorite places, and have plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Tours also include an admissions presentation and are offered weekdays and select weekend days.

After evaluating the changing landscape of COVID-19—and our commitment to protecting everyone’s health and safety—we have decided to offer an immersive, ongoing experience that will replace our March 21 and April 4 events. Check out our Admitted Student Hub, where you chat with admissions staff, take a virtual tour and engage with faculty during Zoom sessions.
Campus tours are led by university experts—our students! They'll walk you around campus sharing their stories, pointing out their favorite places, and answering all of your questions about life at Widener.
Your 1.5- to 2-hour visit will also include a brief information session with our admissions team, covering all you need to know about the admissions and financial aid process and so much more.
Tours are offered weekdays and select weekend dates. Registrations will open approximately one month in advance of the event.
