Design Your Day at Luther

Three people look at a brochure outside of the Admissions Visit Center.

Questions you might ask on your campus visit include, “What sets this school apart from similar schools?”, “What is this school known for?”, “What’s the absolute BEST part of going to this college?”

Your visit should be as unique as you are. We’ll craft an experience that speaks to what matters most to you.

Choose from individual or group visits, each designed to give you an authentic glimpse into Luther life.

Your visit might include:

  • Campus tours that go beyond the typical route
  • One-on-one conversations with faculty or coaches in your areas of interest
  • Meals in our dining halls (on us!)
  • Sitting in on classes or music rehearsals
  • Deep dives into scholarships, financial aid, and the admissions process
  • Overnight stays to experience campus life firsthand

The Luther College Campus Visit Award

There are many ways to measure what a campus visit is worth – personal connections, a sense of place, a vision of the path ahead. That’s the core.

We’ve added one more: The Luther College Campus Visit Award, a renewable $1,000 scholarship for prospective students who attend an eligible visit prior to enrolling. When you invest your time, attention, and resources in a campus visit, we begin our investment in you.

Going to Luther is synonymous with living in beautiful Decorah. Your professors live here, and so do 1,000+ alumni. Decorah is a hidden gem that lies in the Driftless Region. It’s a beautiful environment of rolling hills, sandstone bluffs, waterfalls, and spring-fed creeks. And the community of Decorah is just as unique and inviting as the landscape. See why we are proud to call Decorah our home.
