Whether you have a few hours or a few days, a visit to the Providence Campus is the best way to see for yourself what it’s like to live and learn at JWU. Immerse yourself in a field of study during our Shadow Program, Discovery 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 a JWU Preview Day — or acquaint yourself with our campus and city during a daily tour. If you’re interested in our graduate or continuing education programs, we host information nights throughout the year. Our variety of events is listed on the left, where you'll find schedules and can reserve your spot or register for an event.
When you visit, make Admissions 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. Our visitor checklist (60K PDF) will help you organize your thoughts before your visit. If you’d like to visit on your own and need overnight accommodations, the university has discounted rates for visitors at local hotels. Can't get to campus for a visit?
