Our undergraduate, graduate, and student teams
host a wide range of admission events throughout the year. You can learn all about our programs, the process of applying or transferring, preparation of a portfolio or audition repertoire, and life inside our classrooms and on our New York City campus.
Our Welcome Center building is located at 72 Fifth Avenue, on the corner of 13th Street, and is open weekdays. The Welcome Center will be closed from Monday, December 23, through Wednesday, January 1. In-person campus tours will not be available during the university's semester break, from December 14 through January 20. Tours will resume on Tuesday, January 21.
Those interested in learning more about our academic programs, admission requirements, or campus life are invited to connect online with a Welcome Center student assistant through our Welcome Center Virtual Desk. Virtual desk hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST Monday through Friday. No appointment is necessary.
If you are unable to schedule an in-person tour, we encourage you to take our virtual tour and connect with us through one of our many additional online events.
Anyone interested in connecting with a student currently studying at the College of Performing Arts is invited to email performingarts@newschool.edu to request a virtual meeting.
