High School Sophomores and Juniors

Visit Knowlton School to learn about our three undergraduate majors— architecture, landscape architecture, and city and regional planning—and take a tour of Knowlton Hall with our student ambassadors.

Knowlton Student Services will present on the three majors and lead you through our unique building while highlighting our studio spaces, fabrication lab, and review areas.

During the tour, our students will share their experiences, discuss studio culture and expectations, give tips on balancing Knowlton majors with extracurricular activities, and more. Learn why our students chose these majors and what they enjoy the most!

These sessions can be scheduled at the Ohio State Visit page.

  • Monday March 3 | 10:30- Noon
  • Monday April 21 | 10:30 – Noon
