Shenandoah Conservatory Is What’s Next For University of the Arts Students

We’re saddened to lose such a storied performing arts institution from among our ranks. University of the Arts holds a special place for its students, alumni, faculty, staff and the greater Philadelphia community. We know that you never anticipated growing as a performing artist anywhere other than UArts, and we hope you’ll feel at home and supported at Shenandoah University’s Shenandoah Conservatory. 

In support of UArts students, we are waiving application fees for any current or incoming students. We are still accepting applications to most of our music programs and waiving auditions requirements for some programs. Application submissions to our dance and technical theatre design and production programs are on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the Office of Admissions for more information. 

We are doing everything we can to ensure that credit evaluations are streamlined and conducted swiftly and that plans of study are established at the earliest convenience for you once you’ve submitted a completed application.
