How to visit Stockbridge School of Agriculture
High School Teachers:
Bring your class of junior and senior students to Stockbridge by emailing our Director of Student Recruitment Nessim Watson at @email with your requested dates. Reserve early for the best results.
Future Students:
You’ve perused our website, read about our majors, seen our recent news, checked out our Instagram, and watched a few videos from our YouTube channel. Maybe you even checked out some media coverage of our and our alumni's recent accomplishments on our Facebook page. Now it’s time to arrange a visit to see us in person. Stockbridge School of Agriculture is located on the UMass Amherst campus. We’re excited to have you visit both UMass and the Stockbridge School of Agriculture, and we’ve got a lot to show you.
Please Note: If you have recently been admitted to UMass, please see our Information for Admitted Students page.
Separately Register for Tours with BOTH University Admissions AND Stockbridge
We strongly recommend visiting UMass on a weekday. If you choose to visit on a weekend, you may find that buildings of interest are locked, faculty and staff are off-duty, and students are less available on campus to chat. If you want to attend both the information session and the campus tour offered by University Admissions, then we recommend that you arrive on campus by 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. for a Stockbridge tour, have lunch at our famously No. 1-ranked dining commons, and then attend the Admissions events in the afternoon. Alternately, you can register for a University Admissions info session and campus tour for the morning, and request a Stockbridge tour in the early afternoon.
We recommend that you FIRST Register for a University Admissions Tour and Info Session. These University Admissions events offer a top-level view of the University, which is a great place to start. But it's important to know that these University-sponsored events include little content specific to Stockbridge School of Agriculture. We recommend registering for a date when you can ALSO benefit from a personalized tour of the Stockbridge School with our dedicated student recruiter.
Please avoid these dates during which we are unable to provide a Stockbridge tour:
- Tuesday Nov 4 through Monday Nov 17
- Thursday Nov 27 and Friday Nov 28 (Thanksgiving)
- Thursday Dec 25 through Thursday Jan 1
Once you have (optionally) reserved your spot with UMass admissions, you can then...
As the date for your visit approaches, Nessim Watson (he/him), our Stockbridge director of student recruitment, will reach out to you by email to arrange for your visit to Stockbridge either before or after your university admissions program. If you don't get a response within 2 business days, please email Nessim at @email to confirm that your Stockbridge tour request form was received.
