Visiting Campus

The Virginia Tech Graduate School would like to welcome prospective graduate students to our beautiful campus. Virginia Tech's main campus is located in Blacksburg, Virginia, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Open House
Open House programs are offered on several dates throughout the summer and the academic year. Each Open House will begin at 1pm. The topics covered will include an overview of graduate education at Virginia Tech, funding graduate education, on and off-campus housing options, and meal plans. You will learn how to contact your prospective departments to schedule a meeting with a faculty or staff member and you will be given a walking or driving tour of campus.

Upcoming Open House dates and registration

Please note that due to time restraints, we require that you sign up at least one week prior to the date you'd like to attend. You will be sent a confirmation e-mail once we have received your registration. For more information about our Open House programs, please call Marilyn Kershaw at 540/231-2494.

Tours are offered during regular business hours, 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Special arrangements can be made for tours after 5 pm and weekends.
