I'd like to book a phone consultation or a campus visit.
Booking a Phone Consultation or a Campus Visit
Choosing between a quick call and an in-person visit is a very reasonable thing to weigh — some people want to see the space and the teaching clinic with their own eyes before committing to anything; others just want their questions answered without carving out travel time. Either one is a completely legitimate way to start, and neither commits you to applying.
Here's how the two options break down:
| Option | What it's for | Good fit if... |
|---|---|---|
| Phone / online consultation | A one-on-one conversation with an admissions advisor about programs, prerequisites, transfer credit, or anything else on your mind | You want answers first, logistics later — or you're not local |
| Campus tour | Walking the classrooms, teaching clinic, and campus in person | You want to picture yourself there, or you're deciding between our two locations |
Five Branches has two campuses — San Jose and Santa Cruz, California — and either can host a tour or a consultation; which one fits best usually comes down to where you live or which program track you're leaning toward.
The quickest way is on this page. Ask for it in the chat here and a short form appears on screen — your name, an email, a phone number if you'd like to be called, and a box for what you'd like to talk about. Fill it in and the right colleague arranges the consultation or the visit with you directly. Because it happens inside the conversation, whatever you have already asked about goes across with it, so nobody starts from scratch — and a copy of the conversation is emailed to you.
If you would rather not use the chat, the school also keeps a public interest form that covers both requests:

Or contact the admissions office directly: San Jose (408) 260-0208 / [email protected], Santa Cruz (831) 476-9424 / [email protected].
Is it the phone conversation or the in-person visit that's calling to you more right now?
