Undergraduate Admitted Student Days
Inside GW
For admitted first-year students, we have a series of Inside GW Days so that you can experience what it’s like to be a student at the Corcoran at GW. As an admitted student, you will receive information directly from the GW Office of Undergraduate Admissions about Inside GW Admitted Student Days and how to register for events.
In addition to the on-campus visit days, we have an exciting virtual opportunity as part of Inside GW, to attend an online information session on our Arts & Design Living Learning Community (LLC)!
We welcome you to visit campus for any of the Inside GW Days and hear from a program representative but we encourage you to sign up for one of the session dates below that will have Corcoran-wide academic sessions. These sessions will give you the opportunity to hear from faculty and students across our visual arts, design, and performing arts programs.
