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.

UC Campus Tour & DAAP College Close-Up (CCU)

College Close-Ups are an opportunity to learn about our undergraduate programs and the admissions process. CCUs typically consist of a DAAP overview presentation, a Q&A segment featuring DAAP students and staff, and a tour of our building. It is highly recommended that all students interested in DAAP attend a CCU in conjunction with a University of Cincinnati Campus Preview & Tour. DAAP's CCUs will be held on select Tuesdays at 11am and Fridays at 1pm throughout the spring 2025 semester.

Registration is required. To register, please visit the site below, and using the top calendar, sign up for a campus tour (9am for Tuesday 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 or if you have already attended a campus tour and only want to attend a DAAP CCU, please let us know and we will provide you with further steps to get you added to a CCU.

Self-Guided Tour

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.

Group Visits

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.
