Plan a Visit

Tour group

The best way for you to be certain that UW-Stout is where you want to be is to see it for yourself. While you're here, you'll have a chance to experience the atmosphere, meet faculty and students in person, and see the hands on, student centered environment. We offer weekday visits Monday – Friday, Campus Preview Days in the fall and spring, along with select Saturdays throughout the academic year. Plan a visit so we can show you why UW-Stout is the place you want to be.

» Summer Visit

Plan a visit to UW-Stout during your summer vacation!

Once you've finalized your vacation plans, make an appointment to visit UW-Stout and take a campus tour. Conveniently located near I-94, UW-Stout is right on the way to many of your summer destinations. You'll find a quiet campus. Most of our students go home or work on internships during the summer months, so you won't find streets and sidewalks packed with students, like you see in our brochures. 

A summer college visit can help you fine tune the list of colleges you'll apply to in the fall. You can take a one hour walking tour of campus with one of our current students and a one hour session with an admissions counselors. Faculty, unfortunately, are often not available during the summer months.

Summer campus visits are offered weekdays June 3-August 23.
