Visit the College of Art & Design

The best way to experience the College of Art & Design is to see if for yourself. We encourage interested students to visit the campus and meet the director or chair of your program of interest.

Tours can be arranged by contacting your program(s) of interest via the contact information below.  Administrators within those departments are eager to assist you in coordinating your visit.

LSU offers many opportunities for prospective students to experience campus life, as well, both onsite and online. Many students will join a campus tour in the morning and schedule a visit with the college in the afternoon or the reverse. Campus tours are offered daily and a virtual tour is available. Visit LSU Undergraduate Admissions for more information.
