Exploring Engineering (summer only)

On most Mondays and Fridays during the summer you can explore the distinctive nexus of engineering and the liberal arts at Lafayette through a faculty-led Information Session (12:15 to 1 p.m.) and/or a student-led tour of our Acopian Engineering Center (1 to 1:45 p.m.).

Group Visits

Lafayette is happy to welcome your student group to campus! Group Visits for up to 50 high school juniors and/or seniors include a campus tour and information session. Reservations must be made at least four weeks prior to your requested visit date. We will do our best to accommodate your preferences, but Lafayette cannot guarantee availability on your preferred date(s) or times due to the high volume of requests. We are unable to accommodate group visits on days when we anticipate a high volume of visitors or when our students are on break. To schedule a Group Visit please contact visit@lafayette.edu.

Off-Campus Interviews

Lafayette offers a variety of opportunities for off-campus interviews during the fall and winter months, including individual interviews with Territory Managers, and Alumni/Staff Interviewing Receptions. View upcoming opportunities here.

Individual Alumni Interviews

Alumni regional interviews are a wonderful way for the Admissions Office to get to know you while you have a unique opportunity to learn about Lafayette through the eyes of an energetic alumnus. These interview opportunities are limited to high school seniors who have submitted their application for admission, and please note that a student is permitted to interview only once, so we cannot provide an alumni interview for those students who have previously participated in an on or off campus interview.
Request an interview with an alumni admission representative here.
