School of Media and Communication Information Sessions

Our standard campus tour agenda includes a 30 minute information session with an Undergraduate Admissions staff member followed by a 90 minute walking tour of campus led by a current student. If you’d like to learn more about the School of Media and Communication, sign up for our optional information session when selecting activities for your visit.

In our optional information sessions a School of Media and Communication faculty member will present information about our academic programs, co-curricular activities, and student organizations. You will also meet and talk with current students. This must be arranged before you arrive, so please call 419-372-2478 and we’ll direct you to the appropriate department.
