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 16, 2011

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 offered to groups of more than 10 people and no more than 75. In an effort to ensure everyone fully experiences our campus, our tours are limited in size. 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.
