The Conservatory Experience

UNCSA boasts five standalone arts conservatories — Dance, Design & Production, Drama, Filmmaking and Music — where individual artistry and creative collaboration collide. Students live, work and play with artists across conservatories and collaborate in classes, on personal projects and on the UNCSA performance season. Dancers and filmmakers create together on world class soundstages while actors and designers bring original works to life.

Programs are available at the high school, undergraduate and graduate levels — and students of all ages and skill sets often share the learning environment in ways that enrich the experience for everyone.

Guest artists range from recent graduates to industry icons and are an integral part of the UNCSA campus, often working alongside students in the classroom and on-stage to share their knowledge and expertise.
