On-Site Auditions

We’re excited you have the opportunity to audition for a potential spot at Mississippi School of the Arts. It’s our state’s only residential high school of the arts! MSA is also one of nine residential art schools of its kind in the United States!

By audition day, you’ll need to have your portfolio ready (if your arts discipline requires one) and check in, on time, at the Student Life Center on the MSA campus. An appointment schedule will be provided with your invitation letter or via e-mail.

The audition includes two events for the day:

  1. Audition applicants will participate in a short interview by MSA representatives.
  2. Audition applicants will complete on-site audition for their chosen arts discipline(s).

Post-Audition Status Letter

After auditions, you will be notified of your audition status by postal mail. If you receive accepted status, your acceptance letter will include a time-sensitive intent form that must be returned if you accept and want to enroll into Mississippi School of the Arts.

If you are accepted into more than one arts discipline, you have the option to choose one among the accepted art disciplines shown in your status letter. Although you are allowed to choose only one discipline, you may take courses in other disciplines if your class schedule allows. For instance, a Literary Arts major interested in screenwriting may take Media courses for film and cinema studies. Or a Theatre student may take a Dance course, etc.
