(Adobe Reader required) (Adobe Reader required) Mission The Music Department of Rutgers University offers the full range of degree programs from the baccalaureate through the doctorate. As a constituent part of two larger institutional entities, the Music Department's mission, goals, and objectives are closely aligned with those of the Mason Gross School of the Arts, on the one hand, and with those of Rutgers University, on the other. Chartered in 1976, Mason Gross has emerged as the leading arts conservatory of New Jersey. Sharing the school's aspirations, the Music Department strives for the highest artistic standards, while fully supporting the university's pursuit of excellence in academic training and research. The department is therefore proud to attract a diverse population of students seeking specialized training or a comprehensive and well-rounded education that addresses a wide range of artistic as well as theoretical concerns. A distinguished body of faculty prepares students for professional careers in music, providing them with the skills and knowledge to succeed as performers, teachers, composers, and scholars in a very competitive market. Additionally, the department offers instruction for non-majors, as well as serving a constituency wider than the university audience by means of performances and lectures on and off campus, leadership in music education, and advocacy for music throughout the state. Want to participate in a music ensemble as a non-major? All music ensembles sponsored by Mason Gross School of the Arts can be joined by audition by non-majors. Click here for audition information.
