I'd like to book 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.
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 simplest way to get scheduled is through the school's own interest form, which covers exactly these two requests along with a few others:
👉 Request a consultation or campus tour here
It'll ask which campus and which type of appointment you'd prefer, and routes you to the right advisor from there — nothing about it locks you into applying.
If you'd rather speak with someone directly first, San Jose Admissions can be reached at (408) 260-0208 / [email protected], and Santa Cruz Admissions at (831) 476-9424 / [email protected].
Is it the phone conversation or the in-person visit that's calling to you more right now?
