'''CNSAD''') is [[France]]'s national drama academy, located in [[Paris]] and a constituent college of [[PSL Research University|University PSL]].

==History==
The CNSAD was founded as a part of the [[Conservatoire de Paris]] in 1795, making it the oldest acting school in [[Continental Europe]]. The Conservatoire de Paris split in 1946, with one school for the dramatic arts, and the other for [[music]] and [[dance]], the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSMDP).
==Admissions==
The CNSAD offers a degree, three-year study program, with the CNSAD diploma awarded on completion.<ref name="cnsad">{{cite web|title= Presentation|publisher=CNSAD|url=http://www.cnsad.fr/interface.php|access-date=15 June 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080424092625/http://www.cnsad.fr/interface.php|archive-date=24 April 2008}}</ref> The school admits approximately thirty students per year (usually fifteen men and fifteen women), as well as some invited foreign trainees (''stagiaires étrangers''). The school has a rigorous three-round competitive selection process, with only two percent to three percent of applicants gaining admittance.<ref name="cnsad" /> A stage-directing program was launched in 2001.
