Design Your Day at Luther

Your visit should be as unique as you are. We’ll craft an experience that speaks to what matters most to you.

Choose from individual or group visits, each designed to give you an authentic glimpse into Luther life—from the classroom to the residence halls, from the practice rooms to the playing fields.

Your visit might include:

  • Campus tours that go beyond the typical route
  • One-on-one conversations with faculty or coaches in your areas of interest
  • Meals in our dining halls (on us!)
  • Sitting in on classes or music rehearsals
  • Deep dives into scholarships, financial aid, and the admissions process
  • Overnight stays to experience campus life firsthand

Ready to explore? Tell us what draws you to Luther, and we’ll make sure your visit reflects those interests. Because the best college decisions start with the right college experience.

There are many ways to measure what a campus visit is worth – personal connections, a sense of place, a vision of the path ahead. That’s the core.

We’ve added one more: The Luther College Campus Visit Award, a renewable $1,000 scholarship for prospective students who attend an eligible visit prior to enrolling. When you invest your time, attention, and resources in a campus visit, we begin our investment in you.
