Theater Arts Major Requirements (45 credits)



Theater and film are creative and collaborative arts in which true excellence is achieved through hands-on experience. Students can explore their craft by choosing concentrations in acting, musical theater, design and technology, or filmmaking, all within a dynamic liberal arts curriculum that provides them with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed. Student-proposed majors in other areas of theater such as directing or playwriting can be created in consultation with faculty. As part of a strong, interdisciplinary Department of Fine Arts, our students also benefit from exposure to visual art, music, and new digital media perspectives.

Each year, the Rutgers University-Camden theater program presents a full season of plays and musicals that creates learning opportunities in every area of production from design work and stage management to acting and directing. Groundbreaking, fully supported productions range from Shakespearean tragedies to modern classics and musicals. Student-generated work is highly encouraged and showcased annually in the Student-Directed One Act Play Festival.
