Visiting Berklee

The best way to discover what makes the Berklee experience unique is to experience it for yourself. We strongly encourage all prospective students to visit the campus, take a tour, and attend the many concerts, recitals, and special events that take place at Berklee every day.

Reservations for the following programs can be made by calling 1 800-BERKLEE (toll free) or 617 747-2221.

Saturday Open House

Watch student performances; meet Admissions representatives; see presentations from Scholarships, Financial Aid, and other departments; and take a campus tour all in one day.

Open houses are all-day events that take place twice a year in Berklee's premier performance venue, the Berklee Performance Center. Reservations are required as space is limited; please do not make travel arrangements until your reservation is confirmed. The next available date is: April 21, 2012

Campus Tour

Experience Berklee through the eyes of a student on a student-led campus tour. Learn about Berklee's diverse offering of programs, majors, and instruments; and discover what makes Berklee the world's premier learning lab for the music of today.

Campus tours leave at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Every tour concludes with an information session, and the entire experience should last approximately 90 minutes. Reservations are strongly preferred but walk-ins are accepted.

Group Tours

Group tours are specially arranged for groups larger than 10 people. These groups have expressed a strong interest in pursuing an education in music. Groups are typically high school musical ensembles or high school-aged musical organizations visiting on a regional/countrywide/international college tour, or during a band competition or performance. Unfortunately, due to limited resources, we are unable to offer these tours for groups that are not actively interested in pursuing a career in music.

If you are planning to visit with a group of more than 10 people, we request that you contact us to set up a group tour.
