University tours for design and arts students

In addition to the design and arts specific tours, ASU offers Experience ASU tours, Sun Devil Day visits and ASU in LA Day events.

In addition to the Herberger Institute tours, ASU offers Experience ASU programs in Arizona and in Los Angeles. These year-round events offer visitors the opportunity to learn about the admission process as part of an in-person information session, followed by a campus tour.

You can schedule your Arizona Herberger Institute tours and Experience ASU program on the same day!

For those interested in Tempe campus degrees, we recommend attending an Experience ASU program in Tempe on Monday or Friday.
If you are interested in the ASU FIDM fashion program or the Popular Music degree in Phoenix, we recommend attending an Experience ASU program at the Downtown campus on Monday or Friday.

Sun Devil Day is the chance to tour campus, explore majors and see what it’s really like to be a Sun Devil. Ideal for rising high school juniors and seniors and fort admitted students who will be studying in Arizona and want to get an inside look at life at ASU, this in-person event is your chance to connect, ask questions and start picturing your future at Arizona State University. The day not only includes a campus tour but also an academic session and a tour from Herberger Institute.

Students interested in Herberger Institute degrees offered at the ASU California Center in Los Angeles can sign up for ASU in LA Day, a one-day, on-site event where you will tour the ASU California Center, experience student life and meet with college representatives and current students, including from ASU FIDM and The Poitier FIlm School.
