Visit Our Campus

Welcome to WMU!

Thank you for your interest in visiting Western Michigan University! We love to help welcome future graduate students to our community. You and your family are invited to visit and experience Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Join any of our campus visit options to learn more about the opportunities awaiting you at WMU including:

  • In-person graduate student-guided main campus walking tours    
  • Virtual campus tour
  • Self-guided tour app (Search "WMU Campus Tour" in your preferred app store) that can be used both on-campus and remotely from the comfort of your own home. If you choose to come to campus, the app will connect to GPS and give you turn-by-turn directions. After downloading the app, you will need to create an account (or sign in if you have already used the app), so that you are able to use the app in its entirety.   

to schedule An In-Person VISIT

Before scheduling an in-person graduate student-guided main campus tour, we recommend that prospective graduate students contact their academic department to schedule a visit for program-specific information. Every effort will be made to coordinate the campus tour with your departmental visit. 

The campus tour is a general main campus tour hosted by a graduate student ambassador. These tours are customized to each students' interests and needs and are primarily offered Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the Fall and Spring semesters, exclusive of holidays and breaks. For semester dates and breaks, please visit our online academic calendar.

All visitors are required to register for a tour in advance using the form posted below. We regret that we will not be able to accommodate walk-in visitors. After registering for the tour, you will receive specific information about campus arrival and check in location via email.  If you have any questions about your visit, contact us at grad-visit@wmich.edu.
