Scheduling a tour: Cronkite welcomes visitors for a building tour on dates when an Experience ASU event is available on ASU’s Downtown Phoenix campus and specifies it’ll include a tour and an opportunity to attend an academic session. Tours commence Monday through Friday on select dates.

You can register for a visit at visit.asu.edu/schedule. On that page, make the applicable selections for each drop-down box and select “Journalism” as the program of interest. After hitting “search,” the page will update and you can then select the “Downtown Phoenix campus” bubble.
