Visit Our Campus
While a campus visit is not required for admission to the College of Architecture and Planning (CAP), it is strongly recommended that you plan a visit to ensure this is the right campus (and program) for you. The insight gained by seeing the campus and its surroundings firsthand is invaluable.
During your visit, we recommend you make the most of it. Speak with faculty, sit in on a class, and experience what downtown Denver has to offer. More than anything, ask questions. The insight gained will help you more than simply telling you about the campus and faculty. Does it feel right? Did you click with faculty and students? Did you feel confident that the program was competent and worth the praise?

Group visits typically last for two hours and entail a short presentation from an admissions counselor, a student panel, and a campus tour. Special accommodations such as a mini lecture from a professor or an engineering demonstration are possible but must be requested one month in advance.
