Campus Tours

Visiting Medill's Chicago campus is one of the best ways to get a feel for our program and community.

Campus visits give you the opportunity to talk to an admissions director, learn more about the graduate journalism program and take a tour of our Chicago facilities.

Prearranged appointments are required to visit and tour Medill Chicago. Individuals traveling to Chicago and wishing to view the campus space should make arrangements several days in advance. We are unable to accommodate last minute drop-in or self-guided tours as Medill Chicago is closed to the public and on weekends.

Email Ryan Hays at ryan.hays@northwestern.edu to schedule an appointment.

Unable to attend in person? You can tour all of our campuses virtually:
