The best way to really get to know WMU is to visit campus. We welcome you to join us for our many campus visit programs. From daily campus tours to informational events for students and families, we offer opportunities that will fit your busy schedule. At your campus visit, you will learn from current WMU students and staff about why WMU is a smart choice. If you are unable to visit campus, we invite you to explore WMU via our virtual tour.
If you're a prospective graduate or international student, please visit the corresponding website for details and assistance.
Campus tours

In response to recent University announcements, daily campus tours have be suspended from Tuesday, March 17 through Saturday, April 25, 2020 in order to minimize interpersonal contact to slow the potential spread of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. Starting April 27 and continuing until May 11, campus visits are currently scheduled, but with modifications. If you wish to register for a traditional in-person campus tour, please use the button below. We will continue to monitor the situation and follow all state and federal guidelines. Should this timeline change, we will individually notify anyone who is registered for a campus tour.
