Apply & Audition

Applying to UNCSA is a little different from applying to a traditional college or university. Because we are an arts conservatory, we conduct auditions and interviews with all of our applicants. We believe it’s the best way to evaluate the true artistic gifts and professional potential of young artists. For the 2021-22 academic year all interviews and auditions have moved online. Please check your conservatory and degree level of interest for online requirements.

At UNCSA, you apply for admission to a specific program in one of our five conservatories—Dance, Design & Production, Drama, Filmmaking or Music—each of which has its own admissions process and requirements. Visit the Admissions site for the conservatory you plan to apply for to learn more.
