What Is the Juilliard School Website?
Updated
juilliard.edu is the official website of The Juilliard School, a performing arts conservatory founded in 1905 that offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in dance, drama, and music. The site is the school's main public hub: it carries admissions information, descriptions of each division, news about faculty and students, and ticketing for the performance season. Use it when you want official answers about applying, studying, or attending performances — not as a general reference on music or theater.
What the site covers
The homepage groups its content into a few clear areas:
- Admissions — guidance for prospective undergraduate and graduate students, including an invitation to contact the school, attend events, and talk with counselors and teachers.
- Divisions — separate pages for Music ("cultivating artistry, mastering technique, stretching musical imaginations"), Dance ("exploring movement possibilities, deepening artistry, empowering creativity"), and Drama ("developing hearts, minds, bodies, and a passion for the theater").
- News and features — profiles and interviews, such as a conversation with Music Division dean David Serkin Ludwig ahead of the 2026–27 season, and a piece on conductors Marin Alsop and Molly Turner.
- Season tickets — the 2026–27 season of music, dance, and drama is listed as on sale.

How to use it
- If you are considering applying, start with the Admissions section, then open the page for your division (Music, Dance, or Drama) to see how that program describes itself. Check the homepage for application windows — Fall 2027 applications and the summer program are both listed as open.
- If you want to attend a performance, follow the season tickets link from the homepage for the 2026–27 season.
- If you want to understand the school's direction, the news features and the campaign page are the most current signals; note that "tuition-free" is presented as a campaign goal and as a feature of the new Drama MFA, not as a blanket policy for every program.
Limits to keep in mind
The homepage does not publish tuition figures, audition requirements, or deadlines beyond the open-application notices above. For those details, go to the Admissions section and the individual division pages rather than relying on the homepage summary.
