The Summer Arts Intensives offer a unique experience for students to fully immerse themselves in their craft in a college setting.

In addition to building these skills in classes and expanding their network, students of each intensive will showcase their hard work at the end of the week.

The Summer Arts Intensives are an incredible way to gain collegiate-level experience in the arts, but space is limited. Students are encouraged to register early, as spots are limited.
