Come to Ann Arbor
We encourage all prospective students to come to campus for a visit.
Students interested in our graduate programs may consider attending our Graduate Information Session. And students interested in our undergraduate program may consider attending the BA Program Information Session.
Information sessions provide the opportunity for you to visit our school, speak with members of the Ford School Community, talk about admissions procedures and curriculum, and get answers to your questions.
If you are unable to attend an information session and would like to meet with our admissions staff or sit in on a class, please send an email to fspp-admissions@umich.edu at least one week prior to your visit to allow time to make arrangements. Additionally, representatives from the Ford School may be visiting a city near you for a graduate fair.
Ann Arbor is within an hour drive of Detroit and about five hours from Chicago and Toronto. New York City, Boston, and Washington D.C. are ninety minutes away by plane.
We hope the information below will be useful in organizing your visit.
