A partnership for success
Choosing a college or university is one of the most important decisions that a young person will make and we recognize high school counselors are instrumental in supporting students through the college admissions process.
At UNCSA, we both value this commitment to your student’s success and welcome the opportunity to work alongside you. Our goal is to ensure that you have the resources you need to guide your students through this process. As you work with students and assist them throughout the application and enrollment processes, please consider our office and staff as one of your primary resources.

About UNCSA
The University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA) is a top-ranked creative and performing arts conservatory in Winston-Salem, N.C. Founded in 1963 as America’s first public arts conservatory, UNCSA celebrates more than 50 years of training wildly creative, gifted and hardworking young artists to do what they love, and do it brilliantly!
Five exceptional conservatories
Students find more than world-class arts training at UNCSA — they find an immersive experience that will change their lives. Our talented faculty members are experienced artists who provide personalized mentorship to help students unleash their full creative potential.
Students will be surrounded by a community of like-minded peers who share their passion for the arts and will support them through every step of their journey. Students will also build skills that will serve them well in any career, not just in the entertainment industry. We believe that pursuing the arts enables individuals to develop a unique perspective and the ability to think creatively and critically. Our interdisciplinary approach will give students a broad range of skills, making them versatile and adaptable professionals, ready to rise to any challenge.
