Is a visit to the Madison campus recommended prior to application?
It is neither recommended nor discouraged but you are welcome to visit UW-Madison any time. Thursday is the preferred day during the academic year because you will be able to sit in on a choice of classes and attend the afternoon colloquia where all faculty and currently enrolled grads gather to hear a presentation a topic of interest specific to their area concentration. Some faculty may be available for a personal visit with you during their regularly scheduled office hours, but in any case you would be able to make contact at colloquium. Please email or telephone the Graduate Program Coordinator prior to your anticipated visit. We will do our best to ensure that your experience is informative.
