For more than 40 years, Tisch School of the Arts has drawn on the vast resources of New York City and New York University to create an extraordinary training ground for the individual artist and scholar of the arts. Our undergraduates learn their craft in a spirited, risk-taking environment that combines the professional training of a conservatory with the liberal arts education of a major research university.
As one of the nation's leading centers of undergraduate and graduate study in the performing and cinematic arts, Tisch offers programs of study that incorporate state-of-the-art facilities; a collaboratively oriented community of award-winning faculty members; internship opportunities with established professionals; and the incomparable artistic and cultural resources of New York City. Whether you study at the Institute of Performing Arts, the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film and Television or the Skirball Center for New Media, you will be encouraged to give full expression to your talents as you develop the skills necessary for a successful professional career. As a Tisch student, you have the opportunity and the privilege to follow in the footsteps of such illustrious Tisch alumni as Oliver Stone, Alec Baldwin, Spike Lee, Amy Heckerling, Ang Lee, George Wolfe, Tony Kushner, Marcia Gay Harden, M. Night Shyamalan, Nanette Burstein and Brett Morgen - men and women who have admirably succeeded in redefining the performing and cinematic arts.
