To aspiring young performing artists around the world, the name Juilliard means one thing: the highest possible quality training in dance, drama, and music. There are approximately 800 students-undergraduate and graduate-in our three divisions: more than 600 in music (including our newest program, Jazz Studies); 90 dance, and 90 drama. A truly international school, our students come from every state and from nearly 50 foreign countries, as nearby as Canada and as far away as China and Australia. As a matter of fact, international students comprise more than a quarter of the student population.

As a vital part of Lincoln Center, our students belong to the most vibrant artistic community in the nation. Our neighbors include the Metropolitan Opera; New York City Opera; New York Philharmonic; Jazz at Lincoln Center; New York City Ballet; Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center; and Lincoln Center Theater, on whose stages our alumni appear regularly, as soloists or as members of resident orchestras and choruses.
