UCI Summer Academies in the Arts 2016

The Claire Trevor School of the Arts (CTSA) at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) is accepting registrations for its 2016 Summer Academies in the Arts. The Academies are part of a movement by the school to provide meaningful opportunities for the community to engage with the arts on campus at UCI and to contribute to youth development. These college and career preparatory intensives for high school and middle school students enhance students’ 21st century skills, and support college and career goals, self-confidence and leadership.

Talented and motivated students get to experience life as an undergraduate arts major, in which they receive practical and technical instruction in small classes taught by graduate instructors, professionals in the field and, in some cases, CTSA faculty. With rigorous college-level coursework, and the option of receiving university credit, social and professional networking, and even having the option to live in residence on campus, it's the perfect opportunity for learning and development in a fun, challenging environment.

Younger students can also explore the arts through CTSA’s partnerships: Arts & Learning Conservatory’s Exploratory Theater, “Shining Stars” Summer Dance Program, and US Performing Arts Camps in Musical Theater.

Courses in Art, Dance, Drama, Music and Robotics run throughout the summer. Visit http://outreach.arts.uci.edu/summer-academies for dates, times, and to register. Scholarships and Financial Aid is available!
