TOURS AND CLASS VISITS
In Person
At Howard University School of Law, we are proud of our rich legacy as a historic institution, shaping legal minds for over 150 years. We cultivate future leaders passionate about advancing justice through an equity-centered approach to legal education. Our students are committed to championing civil rights, advocacy, and the pursuit of equality for all.
We invite you to experience this legacy firsthand by joining us for a campus tour. You’ll have the opportunity to explore our facilities, engage with current students, and learn more about the vibrant and supportive community we have here. This is an ideal opportunity to see how Howard Law can serve as the foundation for your legal career and empower you to make a meaningful impact in society.
Tour Availability:
We're excited to welcome prospective students to experience Howard University School of Law in person. Campus tours and class visits are now open and will begin June 1st, with specified available times. To request your spot, please complete the Summer Tour Form, and we will contact you with confirmation and next steps. Please note that we will not be offering class visits in the summer.
Tour & Class Visit Form: Form Link
For tour groups over 2 people, please be sure to complete the tour request form, as well as email husladmit@law.howard.edu with the number of attendees, mode of transportation, and length of time for the visit.
Self-Guided Tour
Prospective students are welcome to visit the West Campus for a self-guided tour. Please be aware that parking on campus is by permit only; however, day passes may be purchased for our West Campus lot. Parking is limited, so many visitors find it easier to use street parking on Van Ness Street, Connecticut Avenue, and the surrounding neighborhood. Be sure to check signage carefully, as D.C. parking regulations are strictly enforced.
We simply ask that you remain mindful that this is an academic environment where students are studying and faculty and staff are working.
Please email husladmit@law.howard.edu with any additional questions.
