Before you Apply - Is Wagner Right for me?
Visit Us
The process of selecting the right graduate school can be a difficult one. NYU Wagner encourages prospective students to visit and explore the many options available. Currently, there are three formal prospective student programs: Information Sessions, Small Group Sessions, and Walk-in Hours - see details below.
Open House
The best way to get a broad introduction to NYU Wagner is to attend an Open House Information Session. You will learn about Wagner's vision for a public service education re-framed, hear in-depth descriptions of our programs, get important information about admissions and financial aid, and have an opportunity meet faculty and a current student. Wagner hosts five to six Open House sessions during the academic year.
Our Open House Sessions will take place at the Puck Building, 295 Lafayette Street, 2nd Floor. Sign in is at 5:30 pm, and there are tours of Wagner led by current students from 5:30 to 6 pm. At 6 pm we convene in the Rudin Forum. At approximately 6:30 pm, we break out into program sections where you will have the opportunity to talk with faculty, staff and current students from each program. The event typically ends around 7:30 pm.
**There are currently no Open House Sessions scheduled for the summer. Please check back towards the end of summer for the Fall 2009 Open House Dates.
Tours
NYU's Office of Graduate Life schedules weekly tours of the Washington Square campus for prospective and newly admitted graduate students. Tours leave from the Kimmel Center Lobby at 60 Washington Square South every Friday at 12 noon.

Information Sessions are offered on the following Dates between 3pm and 4:30 pm at the Puck Building, 295 Lafayette St, 2nd floor.
