Visit the University of Wyoming

Explore UW your way, whether visiting campus, joining an event or exploring from home

There's nothing like experiencing the University of Wyoming in person. Schedule a personalized weekday visit at 9:00 a.m. or 12:00 p.m. to explore campus, connect with admissions staff and discover what life as a Cowboy is all about.

Most visits last about four hours, giving you time to explore campus, ask questions and customize your experience based on your interests. Academic appointments are available based on staff and department availability, so we recommend requesting your visit at least one week in advance to give us time to arrange appointments that match your interests.
