Schedule a Campus Visit
Weekday Visits
To experience the personal atmosphere of Shorter, we encourage you to visit our campus. Whether you visit during the fall foliage months or during the spectacular spring dotted with azaleas, dogwoods and magnolias, you'll always experience the individual attention that is part of Shorter's reputation.
While on campus you may wish to meet with an admissions
representative, sit in on a class, or meet with a professor. We'll be glad to make those arrangements for you. To schedule a campus tour and interview Monday through Friday, please call (800) 868-6980 ext. 7319 or (706) 233-7319 to make an appointment. Calling in advance will assure you that someone in the admissions office will be available to discuss your concerns.
Hand picked student leaders will conduct comprehensive walking tours of the campus and give you a student perspective of life at Shorter. A tour and interview will last approximately one and-a-half hours. If you are scheduled to meet with a professor, please allow an extra 15-30 minutes.
