We make it personal

Washburn Law students are known, not numbered. That's why we make your visit to campus just as personal. Upon entering Robert J. Dole Hall, our new state-of-the-art law facility, one of our admissions staff members will greet you and take you on a tour. You might have the opportunity to sit in on a class and get a feel for what life as a Washburn Law student is all about. And, we'll be sure to allow time for a one-on-one meeting with an admissions counselor to plan next steps. We know your time is valuable so we limit tours to three hours.

What should you expect during your visit?

A new, modern environment designed for student success is what you will find in Robert J. Dole Hall, Washburn Law's home since the summer of 2023. During your tour, explore high-tech classrooms, mock courtrooms, study rooms, break areas and the Washburn Law Clinic, where students gain valuable practice while serving the community. And, take a moment to gaze at a special mural of the lawyers who took the Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka case to the Supreme Court - attorneys who were Washburn Law graduates. You will see new amenities alongside reminders of Washburn Law's rich history, creating the perfect launching pad for your legal career.

In addition to this tour, your visit can also include sitting in on a class to get a glimpse of law school academic life, chatting with a faculty member about your career goals and meeting with a member of the Admissions team to ask any follow-up questions about the school or your application.
