Visit Us

Whether you have a few hours or a few days, we offer a variety of visitor events so you can see for yourself what it’s like to live and learn at JWU.

Immerse yourself in a field of study during our Shadow Program, Major Days or Career Explorations weekends. Get an in-depth taste of student life during Wildcat Weekend. Meet with a financial planner and review your transcripts during an open house — or acquaint yourself with our campus and the city of Providence during a daily tour.

If you’re interested in our graduate or continuing education programs, we host information nights throughout the year.

Review available dates, reserve your spot or register for an event by choosing from the options on the left. For an overview of upcoming events, view the Admissions events calendar.

When you visit, make the Admissions Office your first stop. We recommend that you call us at 800-342-5598 to ensure our staff is available to welcome you.

Our office is open weekdays from 8:30am-4:30pm to help you with directions, maps, parking suggestions or other info.

If you’d like to visit on your own and need overnight accommodations, the university has discounted rates for visitors at local hotels.
