Come Visit Us!

The best way to learn about the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences
is to visit our beautiful campus. We can’t wait to meet you and share
all the reasons we love CALS!

CALS Information Sessions

Informations sessions are a great opportunity for prospective and transfer students to visit campus and learn more about CALS majors, opportunities, and resources.

Sessions include a 45-minute presentation and a 30-minute CALS Tour. Summer sessions only include the 45-minute presentation.

Admitted Students Events

Visit Requests

CALS Ambassadors are CALS students who assist prospective, admitted, and current students with their CALS experience. Email ambassadors@cals.wisc.edu to request a visit with a date and time, number of people, interested major(s), and any specific campus sites you’d like to see. Requests must be sent at least one week in advance and although we will try our best to accommodate each, visit requests are not guaranteed.
