Campus Tours

Prospective Student Tours

Prospective student tours are available through the Admissions Office. Appointments are strongly recommended. Please do not make travel plans until you have secured your tour appointment through the admissions office. Call 417-690-COFO (2636) to schedule an appointment. This tour is guided by students, and includes a walk around our beautiful campus, a stop at a residence room, and Williams Memorial Chapel.Walk-in tours (non-scheduled) are accepted on an availability basis. 

• Our tour guides are our hard-working College of the Ozarks students. Often, they have class immediately following tours, so it is crucial to our students’ success that tours depart promptly at the scheduled time. If you see that you are going to be late for your scheduled time, please notify us at 417-690-COFO (2636). Who knows…you may be one of our tour guides someday!

• Our campus tour is a walking tour and lasts approximately one hour. You will see our beautiful campus, various student service facilities, Williams Memorial Chapel, and a residence hall room. Our student guides are very familiar with the admissions process and can answer most any question you have about admissions and life at C of O.

• If anyone in your tour has difficulty walking or is bringing any type of ambulatory aids (wheelchairs, strollers, etc.) please notify us at least a day in advance so that we may make certain we allow extended time to conduct your tour efficiently.

• If you find it necessary to bring your cell phone on tour, please be courteous and do not use it while on the tour. Please turn it to silent, and avoid receiving or making calls/text messages.
