  • Prospective students are encouraged to visit New England Conservatory. During the school year, the Admissions Office offers tours of the school Monday through Friday at 11:00AM and on Mondays and Fridays (only) at 2:00PM. Please call 617-585-1101 or email the office to reserve a place on any of these tours.

  • Prospective students may contact many of the faculty directly by e-mail.  You will find a link at the bottom of each faculty member’s biography for those who use e-mail.  Faculty members without e-mail can be contacted through the chair of the department.
  • If you need to find hotel accommodations in Boston, The Colonnade Hotel offers guests of New England Conservatory a discounted rate.
  • If you have any questions relating to housing or student life, please go directly to that part of the NEC Web site. The 2008-2009 academic calendar is also available online.
