The best way to learn about CALS is to visit our beautiful campus! Check out our information sessions, special events for our admitted students, and discover your future home in Madison.
Experience CALS
CALS Information Sessions and Tours
We hold information sessions on-campus and virtually all year long, so you can learn all about CALS when it works best for you. These sessions are tailored for both prospective and transfer students. You’ll learn about our college, majors, resources, and have the chance to ask current CALS students questions.
Our on-campus sessions feature a 1-hour walking tour after a 30-minute information session. You’ll see labs, greenhouses, and animal facilities where students have classes, in addition to checking out study spaces, lecture halls, classrooms, and the lakeshore residential community.
Future Badger Days
As an admitted student, you can sign up for a Future Badger Day! Join us for a half-day session — tailored for future CALS Badgers — with a welcome session, resource fair, and your choice of info session, Q&A student panel, or CALS campus tour. Come see how you belong here at Madison.
Upcoming Future Badger Days are on March 13, March 27, April 10, and April 24. To sign up for one, go to Visit Bucky and log in with your NetID.

Madison: The perfect college town
Sitting on an isthmus, a piece of land between two lakes, Madison is the perfect combination of city and campus life.
Check out the miles of bike paths, shop and eat on State Street and Capitol Square, swim and paddle in the lakes, or spend Saturday morning at the Farmer’s Market! Madison has so much to offer.
Campus is the heart of Madison
UW’s campus has everything you need to make the most out of your time as a student. Stay active at the Bakke and the Nick, or take a dip in the lakes when it’s nice out. Both Memorial Union or Union South are the perfect place to study, eat, or attend one of the hundreds of campus events. And don’t forget to jump around at a Wisconsin Badgers game! UW–Madison has something for everyone.
