Visit

There's no better way to learn about DAAP than to visit and tour our award-winning facility. We welcome you to learn more about our facilities, programs, and the work of our students either in person or virtually.

DAAP offers College Close-Ups (CCUs) on select Mondays (11am), Tuesdays (11am, no campus tour) and Fridays (1pm), meaning we only offer them on certain dates, not every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. 

The Monday and Friday CCUs are in conjunction with UC's Preview and Campus Tour, so if you have not been to UC's campus, this is the option you would want to attend. If you have been on a UC campus tour before, please read further to learn more about signing up for an individual CCU. 

To sign up for a Monday or Friday campus tour and College Close-Up, please visit this page and on the "Preview UC and Tour" page, sign up for a campus tour (9am for Monday CCU, 11am for Friday CCU) and then select the option for the DAAP College Close-Up at the bottom of your registration page. If the campus tour is unavailable, please let us know and we will provide you with further steps to get you added to a Monday/Friday CCU if we have space. Below are the dates that we have available for Monday/Friday DAAP College Close-Ups this summer.

The Tuesday CCUs are standalone events that are not connected to a UC Preview and Campus Tour, so if you have already been on a campus tour, this is the option you would want to attend. We highly encourage students who have not visited UC's campus to attend a session on Monday or Friday if they are able.

To sign up for a Tuesday College Close-Up, please visit this page and on the "College Close Ups" page, sign up for one of our Tuesday CCUs. Below are the dates that we have available for Tuesday DAAP College Close-Ups this summer.

Meet with a DAAP admissions expert to help answer any questions you have about DAAP's undergraduate majors and/or admissions process.

While on campus, you can explore the college with our Self-Guided Tour. Walk through the Reed Gallery, imagine yourself working in the Rapid Prototyping Center, view student work in one of the many studio spaces. Signs at each building entrance will direct you to the Student Affairs Office where the tour begins.

Visits can be arranged for larger groups, such as high school classes, teachers, counselors, organizations, or businesses. These visits typically include an overview of DAAP'S majors and admissions processes and a tour of the facility. Each group visit can be customized to meet the needs of that particular group. For larger groups who cannot travel to DAAP, a virtual visit can be arranged.

If you have a group that would like to tour our facility or schedule a virtual visit, please contact DAAP Admissions, at daap-admissions@uc.edu or 513-556-1376.

All DAAP tours and information sessions are held on campus in the Aronoff Center for Design and Art, located at the corner of Martin Luther King Drive and Clifton Avenue.
