Prospective Students

Prospective students are those who haven’t yet been admitted to Illinois: freshmen, sophomores, and juniors in high school or current students at two-year or other 4-year institutions.

Connect with the Department of Animal Sciences at an Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences (ACES) Prospective Student Visit. Held most Mondays and Fridays, this event will highlight the opportunities available to ACES. As you register, indicate your interest in Animal Sciences to connect with one of our faculty or advisors at the event.

For a full-day experience or if you haven’t visited our campus before, we recommend also signing up for the Illinois Experience and Campus Tour on the same day. Available most weekdays and features a presentation by admissions, a student panel, and a walking tour of campus. To do both an Animal Science/ACES visit and the campus tour, you’ll need to select both options from the Campus Visit menu.

For prospective transfer students, check out the Transfer Info Session and Campus Tour held on select Fridays including February 23. March 8, March 22, and April 12. This pairs perfectly with the Animal Sciences/College of ACES Session in the morning.

Admitted Students

Students who have been admitted to the Department of Animal Sciences have a variety of different visit options including our Animal Sciences Admitted Student Saturdays, Animal Sciences Admitted Student Visits, the campus Admitted Info Session & Campus Tour, and even virtual visits. View options for admitted students.
