Visit Campus
Plan your visit to Central College! It’s the best way to get a sneak peek at what a future at 812 University St. could look like.
Visits are personalized for every student and every interest. A visit to campus is the perfect opportunity to:
- See all the places (like classrooms and residence halls).
- Meet all the people (like faculty and coaches).
- And experience all the things (like … way too many things to mention).
Prospective students and parents may schedule individual family meetings on campus or attend a campus visit day. In addition to engaging with admission counselors during campus visits, prospective students and families may familiarize themselves with Central’s campus by using our virtual tour or watching a video tour.
