The Office of Admissions and Scholarships offers many recruiting events throughout the year for prospective students and their families. We invite you to join us for one of the following events to enjoy Mississippi State University firsthand. Event dates are published as they become available.
Be a Bulldog for a Day
This group visit program allows perspective students to meet with admissions counselors, tour campus and see all the opportunities MSU has to offer. Visitors are offered a presentation regarding scholarships, admissions, financial aid, and housing opportunities at MSU. In addition, campus tours are provided by MSU staff members that will fully acquaint new students and parents with the campus. Students may choose between an 9 o'clock morning session and a 1 o'clock afternoon session. Due to the volume of campus visitors this day, we will not be able to offer individual academic appointments.
