Tours for prospective first-year students
The Cronkite School holds regular building tours that provide in-depth information about Cronkite’s undergraduate programs, curriculum and student opportunities.
When to visit: We recommend that prospective students visit on a weekday during the fall or spring semester, as that offers families the added opportunity to see students in action. We will do our best to accommodate visitor schedules, particularly if you’re joining us from out-of-state, however, we cannot guarantee availability. Prior to making any travel arrangements, verify that your Experience ASU date offers an in-person walking tour with an academic session available.
Scheduling a tour: Cronkite welcomes visitors for a building tour on dates when an Experience ASU date offers an in-person walking tour with an academic session. Tours commence Monday through Friday on select dates. Cronkite works with ASU Admission Services to offer the Cronkite building tour, preceded by an ASU information session and campus tour led by ASU Admission Services. You can reserve your spot at visit.asu.edu/schedule. On the webpage, make selections for each drop-down section making sure to select “Journalism” for the program of interest. After hitting search, the page will update and you can then select the “Downtown Phoenix campus” bubble. A calendar will appear where you must select a date that offers an “In-person walking tour with an academic session available.” During your check-in the day of the Experience ASU, you’ll be asked the prospective student’s program of interest where you’ll need to select the Cronkite School to receive the building tour. If you have questions, please contact the recruitment team at attendcronkite@asu.edu.
