Fine and Performing Arts
Take center stage.

Your life as an artist unfolds at Rutgers, a center for the fine and performing arts. What sets Rutgers apart? At this arts conservatory within a major public research university, aspiring artists engage both mind and soul. Here, you’ll master your craft while learning how art intersects with politics, sociology, psychology, and more. Rutgers artists, grounded in both art and academics, are thinking artists.

With fewer than 1,000 undergraduates in its conservatory program, Rutgers is an intense creative community. The super-low student-to-faculty ratio—only 5:1!—guarantees personal attention from master teachers in these majors: • dance • music • theater arts • visual arts

Students benefit from:
  • a faculty of working artists committed to placing graduates within the professional ranks;
  • internships and other career connections at cultural institutes and arts organizations from NYC to DC to London; and
  • the opportunity to combine fine arts training with liberal arts studies for careers in theater management, arts administration, music education, and more.
