UNC School of the Arts is celebrating a new round of recognition.

The Hollywood Reporter ranked the School of Filmmaking’s graduate-level film music composition program as No. 12 on its 2023 list of The World’s Best Music Schools. That’s up from its No. 14 ranking last year. The program will move to UNCSA’s School of Music in the fall of 2024 and become the Graduate Composition for Film and Visual Media.

UNCSA’s School of Filmmaking also earned the No. 11 spot on The Wrap’s list of the Top 50 Film Schools in the US. The school’s value and its advanced learning facilities were featured.

The Wrap also featured the School of Drama on its list of 20 Great Schools for Acting and Drama (read more on page 56). It cited collaboration among different UNCSA schools as a unique experience for students. How about a round of applause for the training ground for these future stars.
