Visit

You have the opportunity to join one of the most comprehensive design institutions in the country, located on the west side of Iowa State University’s campus in Ames, Iowa. The best way to see us in action, learn more about our programs, and meet with current students is to visit us in person.

The Iowa State Office of Admissions provides visit programs nearly every day, and the College of Design participates in on-campus visits Monday through Friday. All weekday visits scheduled through the Office of Admissions includes an academic information session and a tour of the college.

The College of Design also participates in the university’s open house series, Experience Iowa State, which is arranged through the Office of Admissions. Learn more and register your visit now.

Additional information

We strongly recommend organizing your first visit through the Office of Admissions to ensure you receive a comprehensive view of Iowa State University, but we welcome you to contact us for follow-up visits or to request information.

In an effort to meet special accommodations for our prospective students after their Office of Admissions visit, the College of Design can help to:

• Arrange in-person or virtual meetings with members of recruitment staff or faculty
• Connect you with College of Design alumni in your area for email, virtual meetings, shadowing opportunities, or other forms of engagements
• Provide College of Design visit documents and presentations via email
• Connect you with current students for email, virtual, or in-person opportunities

Contact Bryce Bonnstetter, Recruiter II, at brycebon@iastate.edu for arrangements.
