See it for yourself
The best way to know if ¿ì²¥µ¼º½ is right for you is to experience it. Walk the campus, meet our people and see hands-on learning in action.
Why visit ¿ì²¥µ¼º½?
You can read about ATI, but visiting campus is different.
When you’re here, you’ll get a feel for the community, see where you’ll learn and start to picture yourself as a Buckeye. On a visit, you'll:
- walk through learning and community spaces
- talk with faculty, staff and current students
- learn how ATI can prepare you for the workforce or your transition to CFAES Columbus for a bachelor’s degree
What to expect on a weekday campus visit
1 Meet with our admissions team
2 Talk a walking tour of ATI
3 Meet with a faculty member from your area of interest
What to expect at an Open House
1 Hear from our admissions team
2 Attend an academic breakout session
3 Take a walking tour of ATI
4 Visit our farm and animal facilities
We typically host two Open House events each fall semester and two each spring semester. Registration for upcoming Open Houses generally becomes available at the beginning of each respective semester. If no dates are currently listed, please check back for future opportunities.
What to expect for high school group visits
¿ì²¥µ¼º½ offers designated visit days for high school groups and other organizations serving high school-age students. These visits are designed primarily for prospective students in their junior and senior years.
Group visit opportunities for the 2026–2027 academic year are available on:
- Thursday, December 10, 2026
- Tuesday, April 27, 2027
-
Advance registration is required, and space is limited.
Schools and organizations interested in attending should contact the ATI Admissions office for availability and registration information.
These designated group visit days include both scheduled programming and flexible exploration time. Because of the size of the CFAES Wooster campus and the variety of facilities available, groups may not be able to visit every location during one visit. We encourage group leaders to prioritize the opportunities most relevant to their students.
Meals are not provided. Groups should plan accordingly and will receive information about nearby dining options prior to their visit.
To best accommodate visiting groups and provide access to faculty, facilities and other campus resources, high school group visits are offered on these designated dates. Depending on the needs and size of your group, ATI Admissions may also recommend one of our Saturday Open Houses or Presidents Day visit opportunities.

(maps are also accessible in the Ohio State app)
A few simple things can make your visit easier and more fun:
- A small bag or backpack
- A phone for photos, notes and the campus map
- A water bottle and comfortable shoes – you’ll probably walk a lot!
- A pen and notebook if you take notes by hand
- A list of questions you don’t want to forget to ask
- Optional: a family member, friend or valued supporter who can help you think through what you see and hear
- A phone for photos, notes and the campus map
You don’t need to dress up – just wear something that’s comfortable for walking.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before your visit. But thinking about a few questions ahead of time can help you get the most out of your day. You might ask:
- What is it really like to be a student at ¿ì²¥µ¼º½?
- What kind of support do students get if they’re struggling in class?
- What internships or hands-on experiences do students usually do?
- How easy it is to change majors if my interests shift?
- What do students do for fun on campus and in the community?
- How do you help students get ready for jobs or transferring to the CFAES Columbus Campus?
We want your visit to be comfortable and welcoming.
If you are a family member need any accommodations – such as accessible parking, mobility support, sign language interpretation or other assistance – please let us know when you register or reach out before your visit. We’ll work with you to plan a visit that fits your needs.
