Thank you for your interest in bringing your Kindergarten through 5th grade students to visit Wichita State! While we’re unable to provide a guided campus tour for this age group, we offer a self-guided tour and other resources to make your visit to WSU a great experience.

Planning your visit

Decide what you would like to do and see while on campus! There are a variety of on-campus opportunities for your students to experience. Here are a few suggestions:

Give your students a self-guided campus tour. We’ve created a self-guided tour route for K-5 students that should take about 30-45 minutes for you to complete.
