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

Campus visits are currently on a brief pause

We're preparing for fall semester. Weekday visits will resume in mid-September, with registration for fall visits and Open Houses available after Labor Day.

What to expect on a weekday campus visit

1 Meet with our admissions team

You'll learn about admissions, housing, financial aid and campus life.

2 Talk a walking tour of ATI

A current student ambassador will show you around campus. You'll visit classroom buildings, student spaces and the showroom apartment in Applewood Village.

3 Meet with a faculty member from your area of interest

When available, you'll meet with faculty from your program or major to learn more about what you'll be learning. Faculty availability is not guaranteed, but we do our best to connect you during your visit.

What to expect at an Open House

1 Hear from our admissions team

Welcome and information starts at 9 a.m. You'll learn about admissions, housing, financial aid and campus life from staff and campus partners.

2 Attend an academic breakout session

Take advantage of two academic breakout sessions to hear directly from faculty about specific majors.

3 Take a walking tour of ATI

Join a group tour of campus and learn more about the student spaces, campus housing and general life in Wooster, led by a current student.

4 Visit our farm and animal facilities

Most farm facilities will be open and available for students to view at the end of the event within a specified time-frame. Some may require a short drive, but we will provide addresses and directions to help you get there.

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

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.
