Visit CVPA
If you’re interested in pursuing your artistic training and education at UNCG’s College of Visual and Performing Arts, we invite you to visit our programs to get a true feel for everything we have to offer. An academic campus visit is a great way to experience a day in the life of our CVPA students by observing classes, connecting with faculty, touring our beautiful facilities with current students majoring in the arts, and much more.
These visits can be stand-alone or in conjunction with a campus tour via University Admissions and are tailored to your interests and availability. We look forward to meeting you and sharing our vibrant community of artists with you!
