Outside the Classroom

The Berklee NYC campus is itself an intersection of iconic New York City neighborhoods, nestled in Hell’s Kitchen and adjacent to the Broadway theater district. The building houses both Power Station, one of the most famous working studios in the U.S., and a vibrant laboratory for students to learn and create. When you are on campus, you will find yourself surrounded by people and places representing a multitude of backgrounds and experiences.

Your Peers

Berklee NYC's graduate students come from all over the U.S. and the world, bringing a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives, and professions during this yearlong program. Students are the center of campus life as they turn classrooms into studios and theaters into labs, drawing inspiration from their surroundings and new experiences and collaborating on innovative and creative projects with peers. 

It’s not just the facility and surroundings that inspire, nor the world-class faculty and visiting artists. Berklee NYC surrounds you with talented musicians, creatives, and visionaries from all over the world. Your peers may be first-time master’s students or working on their second (or third) degree.

Performance Opportunities

Performances add vibrancy to campus life, and there are many ways to be involved. Extracurricular activities, open mics, and other events offer additional possibilities for students to flourish. All students are offered the chance to perform at monthly open mics on Fridays.
