Come for a Visit
The School of Visual Arts welcomes you to visit and take a student-led tour, discuss its programs with faculty and staff members, and receive portfolio feedback.
Undergraduate Visits
Join us for the College of Fine Arts Visitors Day, Friday, November 6.
Schedule a Tour
The School offers student-led tours of its undergraduate facilities Monday through Friday during the academic year and summer. During these informal, hour-long tours, the student tour guide provides prospective students and their parents with an overview of the School's programs, and tours also include visits to studios and classrooms.
While most tours are scheduled for 12:30PM, we can sometimes accommodate families at other times. To make a tour reservation, please call the School of Visual Arts at 617-353-3371.
Prospective students may also take a general Boston University campus tour. To schedule a campus tour, visit the Boston University Undergraduate Admissions Reception Center website or call 617-353-2318.
