The best way to discover Austin College is to visit our campus for yourself. During a campus visit, you may meet students and faculty, tour the campus, and eat in the dining hall. Attend an available class and ask questions of the admission professionals who are on hand to help you learn more about campus.
There are different types of visits to suit your needs:
