Schedule a Visit
Visit Options
The best way to decide if Meredith is right for you is to come for a campus visit. Sit in on a class. Talk with a faculty member or a current student in your field of interest. Meet with your admissions counselor to learn about the application and admission process and scholarship opportunities. Find out how Meredith can help you become even stronger.
There are two ways to visit Meredith’s campus: schedule an individual campus visit or attend one of our open houses.
Campus Visits
During an individual campus visit, you’ll get an in-depth sense of what it’s like to study at Meredith. You’ll find out what’s different about our educational experience. And you’ll gain a sense of how you might “fit” in at Meredith.
