Where the future of
art and artist align.

The High School Academic Program at UNCSA has been reaccredited by the Cognia Global Commission. The action was recently reported by Cognia - a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization that accredits primary and secondary schools in the United States and internationally - and the Cognia Global Commission, which takes accreditation action.

In April 2024, visionary screenwriter Linda Woolverton, behind classics like "Beauty and the Beast," "The Lion King" and "Maleficent," visited UNCSA. She shared her expertise with students, culminating in a screening and discussion of her 1991 film "Beauty and the Beast."

The Hollywood Reporter (THR) has ranked the School of Drama No. 3 on its list of "The World's 25 Best Drama Schools" for the second year in a row. UNCSA is second among B.F.A. programs included on the 2024 list and is the only public American institution among the top eight programs.
