 General Information

North Carolina students should note that the state of North Carolina now pays the full cost of attending NCSA (tuition, fees, and room and board) for in-state students who are accepted into the high school program. The N.C. General Assembly approved the NCSA initiative in 2001. Out-of-state students can find information about costs on our tuition and fees page.
 
 *Attend FREE if you are a North Carolina resident accepted into the high school program. Offer does not apply to Summer Programs. College programs also available at low cost to North Carolina Residents.

The High School Academic Program grants the North Carolina School of the Arts diploma with concentrations in Dance, Drama, Music, and Visual Arts to students who successfully complete all requirements for their arts program and sufficient college preparatory-level academic courses to meet graduation requirements.  The high school program prides itself on ensuring that its graduates are successful applicants to a diverse array of college and university programs, in arts disciplines and other areas of study.  With the exception of music students in grades 8-10, students take up to four academic courses along with their required arts courses.  Music students in grades 8-10 may take up to five academic courses.
