Living in NYC Overview

Welcome to New York City - the center of theater, dance, film, and production - which offers real-time, hands-on learning for every student committed to a career in the performing arts.

Urban Immersion

The Tepper Semester immerses students in the cultural experience of living, studying and working in New York City, while offering them rigorous training with world-renowned teachers and guest artists.

Students attend workshops and master classes conducted by industry professionals, attend up to 30 shows during the semester of Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, and visit a wide variety of cultural institutions, from the Museum of Modern Art to Ellis Island.

Heart of the City

During the semester, students can live at the historic and newly-renovated New Yorker Hotel in the heart of midtown Manhattan, within quick, safe walking distance of classes on Theatre Row, eight blocks north.

Busy at all hours, the neighborhood is one of the safest areas of the city - which, overall, now enjoys the lowest crime rate in decades. Other nearby attractions include: Madison Square Garden, the Empire State Building, Herald Square, Times Square, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, and the Theater District.
