Herron Open House

Learn about Herron's lifestyle + IUPUI's urban research campus

Whether you're new to college or looking at graduate school, we know that the best student life is one where you'll feel most at home, where you can have positive friendships and mentoring experiences and explore all that inspires you, as well as find guidance to help you clarify your future in art and design.

Herron Open House is an annual event that takes all of this into account, so you can get a sense of the creative lives of Herron students, the IUPUI campus, and the Indianapolis arts and culture scene.

11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Registration

This event is free and open to prospective undergraduate students and their families, as well as graduate students. Advance registration is required.

Online, but still together.

This year, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has redesigned how we engage with each other, so Herron Open House will be virtual.

We know that online events are different from in-person events, and we have thoughtfully organized a day of virtual Q&As, studio tours, and themed conversations.

Admission staff and some of our top professors and students will give you valuable insights into our undergraduate and graduate degree programs, plus all the perks of being an IUPUI community member.

In just one day, you'll find as much detail on the Herron experience as you can.
