Admissions
Visiting Wagner
Throughout the year, Wagner offers different visit options to enable students to make the most informed decision about applying and attending the college. Please peruse the following options to find the visit type that best suits your needs.
Tour and Individual Meeting
On weekdays during the school year, tours leave at 10:00 am, 11:15 am, 1:00 pm, 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm. These student-led tours will last approximately one hour, and afterward students are encouraged to meet with an Admissions Counselor to answer questions and go into greater depth than is discussed on tour. These meetings are separate from interviews and are solely informational.
Schedule a tour and private visit.
Saturday Overview Sessions
On select Saturdays throughout the fall and spring semesters, Overview session days are offered through the Admissions Office; these days consist of an information session by an Admissions Counselor and a campus tour with a current student. This day begins at 11:00 am and goes until about 1:00 pm.
To get the true "Wagner experience" students are encouraged to stay on campus for any of the day's campus events: athletic competitions, arts performance, other campus events, or go experience the city.
Register for a Saturday Overview Session.
Campus Visit Days
These days are the most extensive visit option offered at Wagner. Students will have the opportunity to speak with faculty, staff and current students. The day includes a welcome breakfast, information session, campus tour and faculty reception. The day begins at 9:00 am and ends around 1:00 pm.
This option is best for students who would like to speak directly with professors and administrators from other campus offices.
(note: Online registration is available until 48 hours before the event. On-site registration will be available at the event for those unable to register online.)
A typical Campus Visit Day program follows:
9:00 AM - Registration

10:15 AM - College Overview with Current Students and Administrators
11:15 AM - Campus Tours
12:00 PM - Reception with Wagner College Faculty

Class Visits
Only for admitted students
During the spring semester, the Admissions Office sponsors specific dates for admitted students to attend classes and lunch with a current student. Admitted students must register at least two weeks prior to the event to ensure the best match for classes and student host.
Interviews
After students apply, they are encouraged to schedule an interview with their Admissions Counselor. Interviews are both informational and evaluative, and can be conducted either on campus or over the phone. Typically, a student will interview to add anecdotal information to otherwise objective criteria.
Contact your Admissions Counselor to schedule an interview.
Admitted Students Day
The purpose of the Admitted Students Day is to provide students with enough information for them to make an informed decision about enrolling. Throughout the day, students will sit in on a variety of panels, take a campus tour, and interact with professors, current students and fellow admitted students. The 2012 Admitted Students Day will be held on Saturday, April 14th.
