Group Visits

Consider this an open invitation! If your students are still in the deciding phase of their college search, we encourage them to visit Wichita State. During their visit, they will have the opportunity to explore our buildings, talk to current students and get a feel for what it's like to be a Shocker student.

Types of Groups

The Office of Admissions provides group visits specially designed for:

  • High school (9th-12th graders)
  • Community college students
  • TRIO, AVID or any other group with a special interest
  • If you have a middle school group, please call Mandy Ronen at (316) 978-5697 or email mandy.ronen@wichita.edu to inquire about Middle School Visit Day

If your group is smaller than 10 students, please sign up  through our campus visit program.
