Visiting the School

We encourage applicants to visit the School of Design and learn more about our graduate programs. Your best opportunity to meet with faculty and students is our Open House for prospective applicants. This year, the Open House for prospective graduate applicants will be held on Monday, November 9; sign-in begins at 8:30 am. Events will include program overviews, discussions with current students and faculty, tours of the facilities, and a financial aid session. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Register for the Open House by clicking here, by calling 215-898-6520, or by e-mailing us at admissions@design.upenn.edu.

If you don’t have an opportunity to attend our Open House, we invite you to contact the department(s) in which you are interested to make arrangements to visit the school and speak with our staff, students and/or faculty.
