Summer Programs

Applications for the 2024 Summer Intensives are now open! Campus housing and commuter options are available for most programs. Please visit the page of the program you are interested in for more details.

Welcome to the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where summer is intense, exhilarating and all about the students. Whether your passion is dance, drama, filmmaking, music or visual arts, you’ll find all the hands-on experience, all the performance opportunities, and all the individual attention from professional artists you’ve dared to dream of.

If you are a current or former college student, check out our summer online academic classes. Summer liberal arts classes at UNCSA offer current college students a jump-start on required classes, and enable former students to complete outstanding graduation requirements in one five-week session that is 100 percent online.

For younger students and adults, visit the page below to browse summer class offerings from our community programs Acting Out, Community Music School and Preparatory Dance.
