University Credit and Degrees

＊On July 1st,1999,the National Fu Hsing Dramatic Arts Academy combined with the National Kuo Kuang Academy of Arts to establish the National Taiwan Junior College of Performing Arts（NTJCPA）. It is the first vocational school of its kind in Taiwan to offer ten years of continual education in the performing arts. As NTJCPA was formed from two preexisting schools, it is now separated into two campuses: the Mucha Campus, and the Neihu Campus.

NTJCPA is engaging in whole person arts education, and cultivating accomplishments in the humanities, with an equal emphasis on both professional skills and academic theory. Furthermore, the school mission is to develop creative talent, with the hope that students can bear the burden of passing down cultural heritage to the next generation, and fostering the tradition of Chinese performing arts.

Currently, NTJCPA facilities include a Chinese Opera Cultural Relic Exhibition Hall, three performance theatres, and two experimental theatres. The school ha also published a series of books about the performing arts profession, and produced a multi-media presentation that introduces plays and cultural relics. Every year, the school Chinese Opera Troupe and Chinese Acrobatics Troupe put on a combined total of more than 600 performances, both in Taiwan and around the world.
