    Auditions and portfolio reviews can make anyone a little nervous. The professors who see your performance or view your portfolio have all been in your shoes. They understand and appreciate the time and work that goes into preparing for an audition or creating a portfolio. They’re excited to see what our new students can do. Enjoy your chance to share your talents.

  • Experience IUP: Fine Arts (Select Mondays)

    In the morning, you’ll learn more about IUP and our Fine Arts programs and take a tour of the facilities. Your parents and guests will then have a complimentary lunch in the dining hall or dine on their own while you have lunch with current students.

    Ask them questions. Discover opportunities that await you at IUP. Will you join a campus club? Or multiple ensembles? Study abroad? See a Broadway show in Fisher Auditorium? Meet a visiting artist?

    IUP offers more than you can learn about in just one day, but this event is a great start. Find out how we can help you succeed. Explore our many activities and the highlights of campus life.

    Auditions and portfolio reviews are scheduled during the afternoon session after the general sessions about the experiences of all IUP students. You’ll learn your exact audition time after lunch.
