Visit Days
Fall Visit Day and Junior Preview Day are designed to give prospective students and parents a chance to learn what The University of Mississippi is really like directly from faculty and currently enrolled students. Visit Days normally include campus tours, academic fairs, financial aid sessions, student-to-student panel discussion, and a residence hall open house.
During Fall Visit Day, students interested in art and art history are invited to visit the Department of Art and Art History. You will be able to meet our current students and faculty, tour our facilities, and participate in a review of your art portfolio or your writing, which will give you an opportunity to hone your portfolio and presentation for future reviews and application to our Art Merit competition in the winter.
Activities in the Department of Art and Art History include:
- Tours of our facilities, including art history, ceramics, digital photography, graphic design, letterpress, painting, printmaking, and sculpture.
