Visit Us During Our Undergraduate Open Houses
Open Houses and campus tours offer prospective undergraduate students the opportunity to meet your fellow students and faculty, to have your portfolios reviewed, to ask questions, and to see the spaces where you'll be practicing, performing and perfecting your craft.
Fall Visit Day
The Fall Visit Day open house for high school seniors will include an admissions information session, campus tours by academic area of interest, and an opportunity to meet with the admissions team and other student support offices on campus.
Mason Fall Premiere
Fall Premiere is our largest prospective student open house event! Talk with student orgs, see our housing options, connect with academics, and check out all that Mason Nation has to offer! Mason Ambassadors will offer campus tours and lunch will be provided.
High School Juniors
CVPA hosts a CVPA Junior Open House for prospective students in their junior year of high school, usually during spring break. If you'd rather come a different day, you can arrange an individual visit with the schools.
Admitted Students
In the Spring, events shift to focus on admitted students, with the Mason Spring Preview Open House and Spotlight Days that run several times throughout the spring. A Spotlight Day geared specifically to CVPA students usually takes place in March each year.
