The college offers undergraduate and graduate programs in various fields of performing arts, including drama, music, dance, and traditional Chinese performing arts. Students can choose from a wide range of programs, such as Acting, Directing, Playwriting, Dance, Vocal Performance, Instrumental Performance, Musicology, and Traditional Chinese Performing Arts.
The college also offers a number of interdisciplinary programs that allow students to combine their interests in different fields of the performing arts.
It was known as Fu Sheng (Fu Xing Ju Xiao) or Lu Kwan Peking Opera school. Although called a Peking Opera school, students actually learned Taiwanese opera, sung in Hokkien dialect rather than Mandarin.[1] Notable students included Lu Feng, Chiang Sheng, Charlie Chin, Philip Kwok, Angela Mao and James Tien who subsequently worked in the Hong Kong film industry.
On 1 July 1999, the National Fu Hsing Dramatic Arts Academy merged with the National Kuo Kuang Academy of Arts to establish National Taiwan Junior College of Performing Arts.
