MURFREESBORO — MTSU
admissions, enrollment and academic officials are gearing up for what will be
one of the university’s largest preview days.
More than 1,000 people have preregistered and are expected
to attend the 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 22, Spring Preview Day featuring
science.
Spring Preview Day is the university’s signature open house
for prospective students and their families. This campus visit program includes department
presentations, opportunities to meet faculty and staff from academic areas and
student affairs, and take campus tours.
Admissions has a new website, http://mtsu.edu/how-to-apply/. Click on “EXPLORE” and then
“Schedule a Visit” to learn more about daily campus tours, group and
self-guided tours, traveling (directions) to MTSU and to RSVP for special
events including preview days.
In anticipation of the opening of the new $147 million
Science Building in early 2015, a special emphasis is being placed in the areas
of science in both the Colleges of Basic and Applied Sciences and Behavioral
and Health Sciences.
“Spring Preview Day is going to be a great day,” said
College of Basic and Applied Sciences Dean Bud Fischer, whose faculty have been
preparing for months to make this an extra special visit.
MTSU officials will escort visitors to the Science Building
for exterior views. Because the 257,000-square-foot structure is not finished,
tours inside the building will not be allowed.
“I wish we
could take visitors through the building,” Fischer said. “Eventually, we will
have that opportunity. However, we will be able to show the outside of the
building and pictures of the inside of the building and say, ‘Your classes and
labs will be in these spaces.’”
Visitors will
be able to access the new Student Services and Admission Center and MT
One Stop, which recently opened across from the Student Union on Blue Raider
Drive. It will house admissions, tours and records on the first floor. The
second-floor MT One Stop will handle student concerns regarding financial aid,
scholarships, bills, scheduling, transcripts and more.
A second MTSU Spring Preview Day will be held Saturday, June
7.

tours, call 615-898-5670 or email tours@mtsu.edu.
