College Visits and Tours

Want to know more about engineering at the University of Georgia? We'd love to show you around!

INFORMATION SESSIONS + TOURS

Interested in experiencing all that engineering at UGA has to offer? Attend one of our Information Sessions. These events involve a formal presentation from staff where prospective undergraduate students and families are able to learn about our curriculum, experiential learning opportunities, student groups and competitions, support for entrepreneurship and innovation, and much more. Registration is required. All Information Sessions are followed by a guided tour of our Driftmier Engineering facility led by a College of Engineering Student Ambassador.
