You are welcome to take a self-guided drive-thru tour of the residential campus. Worcester State’s 58-acre campus is open and easy to navigate by car.
Following the main roadway through campus, you will be greeted with the modern architecture and historical sites that make Worcester State beautiful. Enter campus through the South Entrance where you can stop at the information kiosk near the Learning Resource Center to pick up admissions materials. An audio narration is available via Soundcloud. As a thank you for visiting, you can sign up to receive an undergraduate application fee waiver when you complete the drive-through tour!
-
If you are a senior in high school or a potential transfer student, you can request a one-on-one in-person or virtual meeting with Worcester State’s admissions staff. Virtual meetings will take place over Zoom and can be used to answer all your questions, including if you are an admissible candidate, prepare preliminary transfer credit evaluations, and offer academic advice. To schedule an individual appointment with an admissions counselor, email the Admissions Office at admissions@worcester.edu or email your counselor directly.
Note: Admissions counselors will be traveling frequently during the months of September and October so appointments will be offered on a limited basis. Please contact your counselor directly to determine their availability.

Are you a teacher, school counselor or college program coordinator looking to arrange a group information session for your students? The Admissions Office offers virtual information sessions as well as on-campus information sessions with a campus tour by request for groups.
