Program Overview

The unique nature of Mason Gross enables students to have the advantages of a professionally oriented conservatory program and also benefit from the many resources of a large university. Each student receives personalized attention in a supportive community. At the undergraduate level, this means that students obtain a truly holistic musical education, achieving the highest levels of their craft even as they learn to think about music in broad, humanistic terms. Our undergraduate students also benefit from a weekly “Music Assembly,” where master classes, guest lectures, and other seminars take place in a supportive and nurturing environment.

In our Bachelor of Music program, performance and jazz students are trained for professional careers as performers and educators. In composition, too, students are prepared for professional careers as composers and educators. Students in music education graduate with certification to teach music in New Jersey public schools and receive extensive training in an instrument or voice. All four undergraduate areas provide rigorous instruction in music theory and history, as well as performance/composition, and are complemented by core requirements in the liberal arts.

Jazz Studies
The Rutgers University jazz program is less than an hour’s ride from New York City and Philadelphia. The proximity to the New York City jazz scene offers many advantages, including all-star faculty and performance opportunities at important New York City venues.
