Music, Dance and Theatre

The Department of Music, Dance and Theatre is unique among New Jersey’s public universities, offering students access to three performance disciplines – music, dance and theatre – within one department. NJCU’s location in the New York metropolitan area enables students to experience the finest in cultural events and to learn their craft from working artists in their fields. These resources enrich the educational experience for students enrolled in music, dance, and theatre courses.

The Department’s music programs are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) and the Middle States Association. Qualified undergraduate students are able to major in two music major disciplines simultaneously. Music, Dance and Theatre Department scholarships and assistantships are offered based on academic and performance excellence.
