Experience CALS in person: Visit Day Invitation 2011-2012

*The CALS Visit Days for 2011-12 have already occurred.  Please contact our office at 608-262-3003 for more information about setting up your own visit to campus, which will look a little different than the Visit Day.  We will be scheduling CALS Visit Days for fall 2012 and spring 2013.  Check back with us!

We invite you to come explore the University of Wisconsin- Madison and learn about exciting opportunities awaiting you in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. We encourage you to bring a parent/s or a friend to one of our 2011-2012 College Visit Day Programs for four-year degree programs.

Your visit will include information on the college, admissions, housing, scholarships, financial aid, and career opportunities. Students will also take a walking tour of our beautiful lakeshore campus with a student ambassador as your guide.

Our program is unique as you will have an opportunity to personally meet with faculty advisors in up to two areas of study that interest you.

*A note about Farm and Industry Short Course: if you are interested in attending the Farm and Industry Short Course Preview Day, please follow the Short Course link, these programs are different and will cover different topics.
