About JuilliardJuilliard was founded in 1905 as the Institute of Musical Art. The School was named for Augustus Juilliard, a wealthy textile merchant whose bequest was used to establish the Juilliard Graduate School in 1924. In 1926, it merged with the Institute for Musical Art to become the Juilliard School of Music. With the additions of a Dance Division in 1951 and Drama Division in 1968, the name was shortened to The Juilliard School.

Student LifeJuilliard has developed an extensive network of services to ensure the health and well-being of its students and to nurture their artistic, intellectual, and personal growth. In addition to an extensive network of Health and Counseling Services, these include the Office of Student Affairs, International Advisement Office, Office of Career Services, Office of Educational Outreach, Office of Academic Support Services, and a unique, interdisciplinary Mentoring Program. In this section of our Web site you can learn about these services; there is also a special Parent and Family Resources section with information for parents and family members of students/prospective students.

HousingThe Meredith Willson Residence Hall is located in the Samuel B. and David Rose Building, just steps away from The Juilliard School. Situated on the top 13 floors of the Rose Building, the residence hall provides accommodations for 348 students, who enjoy a unique opportunity to interact with fellow artists from around the world in a safe and supportive environment. The Rose Building, with its spectacular views of over the Hudson River as well as Broadway/Central Park, is also home to several other Lincoln Center constituents, including the Chamber Music Society, the Film Society of Lincoln Center, the School of American Ballet, and Lincoln Center, Inc.

Upperclass or new graduate and transfer students can opt to live off campus. However, finding an apartment in New York City can be a challenging experience. With that in mind, Student Affairs provides resources and materials to help students understand the complexities of the rental process.

Students who live off campus can also purchase a meal plan option or a declining balance plan only. A detailed brochure is mailed to all new students in July.

School of DramaTheater is a calling, an art, a craft, a political act, a profession, and a business. The Juilliard Drama Division is dedicated to providing the 21st-century theater artist with the necessary tools, artistic and personal, to meet the demands of all aspects of our work in an ever evolving performing arts landscape.

Our curriculum emphasizes intuition and spontaneity as well as discipline, technique, intellectual development, and social context. Our approach combines vocal and physical training, extensive work on the written word, and appreciation of style with a fierce commitment to emotional honesty, immense physical energy, and imaginative daring. We believe that this rigorous experience, along with our pledge to preparing young theater artists to take a place of responsibility in the community at large, have our alumni to excel as artists, leaders and global citizens.

Under the direction of Marsha Norman and Christopher Durang, the Lila Acheson Wallace American Playwrights Program is woven together with our acting programs through Play Labs, staged readings, and workshop productions, providing

an essential experience for our promising theatre artists. Through these dynamic opportunities actors and writers collide together in their respective roles in the creation of vibrant new work. The Drama Division has served as an incubator for this work and many of these collaborations continue to flourish for years long after graduation.

Since its inception in 1968 the Drama Division at the Juilliard School has dedicated itself to excellence and has grown to be one of the most respected and renowned programs for actors and playwrights in the world.
