College of Human Sciences Campus Visits
Out of an abundance of caution and to prioritize the health and safety of our guests, we will be continuing to host visits virtually during the winter and spring of 2021. Choose the remote option that works best for you:
- We are hosting virtual visit days. Discuss your major(s) of interest and specific questions by email, phone, or video chat. You can contact us at hs@iastate.edu or 515-294-0865 to schedule a time.
- Text your questions directly to (515) 203-3539, and we will respond during business hours, 8a.m.-4p.m., Monday to Friday.
We know how disappointing and disruptive this is to your process of choosing a college and major, and we look forward to welcoming you to our campus soon.
