Peabody Campus Visits and Events

Selecting a graduate school is an important decision with many different criteria. We know that campus and community are important factors in addition to academic offerings. To help you become more familiar with Peabody’s campus and its people, we encourage you to plan an in-person visit or join an upcoming event.

Personal Campus Visits

Campus visits are available for all prospective graduate and professional students. During the academic year (September through the end of April), prospective master's and Ed.D. students can select a campus visit option that works best for their schedule from our Graduate Admissions Event Calendar. During the summer months, or in the event that there's not an available visit during the academic year that works for you, we invite you to email us at peabody.visits@vanderbilt.edu; we will be glad to work with you to accommodate your visit.

Prospective Ph.D. students should contact the Admissions Coordinator within their department of interest to request a campus visit.

Your campus visit includes a Peabody campus tour led by a current student, as well as the option to sit in on a class, speak with an Admissions Coordinator, meet with a current student, and/or meet with a faculty member, depending on how you would like to structure your visit. Our campus visit schedules are specially created for each student, so we ask that you please request a visit at least two weeks in advance of the date you plan to visit Peabody.
