What To Expect:

We welcome guests to visit the MSU campus. Tours for prospective students are scheduled year-round, during normal business hours. A member of the Graduate School will guide you on a walking tour, while providing you with information on the admissions process and MSU in general. Students will also have the option of meeting with an academic representative and touring our College View Apartment complex.


Contact scholar@grad.msstate.edu or call 662-325-7400 to schedule a visit.

Academic College Meetings

Meeting with an academic representative will be the focal point of your visit. Please specify what degree you plan to pursue and if you have a concentration area. If you have already been in communication with a specific professor or other representative, please let us know. Students will also have the option of meeting with an academic representative and touring our College View Apartment complex.

*Academic meeting availability is based on faculty member availability and may vary in the summer months.


Housing Tour

An optional housing tour will be available to students who specify their housing needs. MSU has a partnership with College View Apartments that serves to house upperclassmen such as juniors, seniors, and graduate students. A tour of College View Apartments can be setup with an MSU representative or individually through their website!
