Bachelor of Arts in Music |
The music program offers exciting possibilities for students to learn the foundations of musical performance as well as histories of global music cultures and traditions, philosophies of music, experimental and contemporary art and media practices, and the role of music and art in democracy, community engagement, and social justice. Because of the unique backgrounds and collaborative approach of our academic and world-renowned performance faculty, the music program at RU-N is positioned at the cutting edge of contemporary music studies. We train our students to think in interdisciplinary ways and to learn how music and art can inform and enhance work in diverse marketplaces and industries.
Performance and research opportunities open to music students include Express Newark, a campus-community incubator for artist engagement and public scholarship; the Rutgers Chorus, which performs globally and has produced multiple recorded albums; and the Institute of Jazz Studies, the world’s foremost jazz archives and research library.
