Come See Us

We look forward to welcoming you into our community and encourage you to visit us to learn more about our city, school, programs, faculty, and students. Opportunities to engage with us include on-campus open houses, information sessions and graduate fairs, and individual campus visits.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Admissions Events

GSE hosts school-wide and division or program specific campus-based open houses to introduce you to our programs. To review a listing of our Open Houses, click here.

Campus Visits

To schedule a campus visit, please fill out the campus visit request form. A typical visit lasts approximately three hours, but if you have more time, we invite you to sit in on a class, meet with a faculty member, or tour Philadelphia.

To ensure that you have the best possible campus visit experience, please notify us at least two weeks in advance of your visit. Campus visits are scheduled Mondays through Fridays during normal business hours.

Please note: Full campus visits will not take place from Wednesday, December 17th through Friday, January 16th as GSE students and faculty are on winter break during this period.  Shortened visits may be arranged by contacting Jung Kang, Senior Associate Director of Admissions, and will include meetings with admissions and program staff.  If you are able to visit after January 16th, we invite you to fill out a campus visit request form.  You will be contacted on or around January 19th regarding that visit.
