Visit and Tour Geneseo
Tours of the Geneseo campus are available every weekday throughout the year and on most Saturdays. To sign up for a tour, register online or call the Admissions Office at (866) 245-5211.
All of Geneseo's academic departments have "open office hours" available for prospective students to visit, ask questions, and learn more about their department of choice. If you'd like to schedule your campus tour for a day when your preferred department has office hours, please visit the Academic Department Visits page for a complete list of each department's open hours.
Campus tours last about 90 minutes, and are accompanied by an information session with an admissions counselor. Bring as many family members as you'd like.
