About the Fine Arts Department

Art and Art History
The four-year program leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art offers Rutgers students at the Camden campus a variety of concentrations which include art history, computer graphics, graphic design, museum studies, painting, printmaking & photography, sculpture, and teacher certification (in cooperation with the Teacher Preparation Program). Students may also design their own interdisciplinary majors to prepare for careers in art therapy, medical illustration, advertising, and other fields.

Music
The study of music as a liberal art requires an integrated approach to theory, history, and performance, experience in all three fields being essential to the understanding of music as an artistic and intellectual achievement. Theory courses allow the student to work with musical material, to understand modes of organization in composition, and to employ methods of musical analysis. History courses introduce students to methods of studying the development of musical styles and genres, and the relationship of music to the other arts and areas of thought. The music program encourages students to develop performing skills through private study and through participation in the college choir, early music ensemble, and performance ensemble. Practice rooms are available for students to use for rehearsal. Recognizing the need for a critical listening audience, the program offers a variety of courses for the general student body that assume no previous musical background and that are designed to enhance an understanding of the continuing tradition of the world's music.

Theater Arts
Our emphasis is placed on student generated work and original work created in and around our playwriting wing. We offer a unique perspective on the study of theater—one that emphasizes the creative process and new play development, a vital aspect of American theater. We encourage our students to think of themselves as creators as well as interpreters, whether their primary interest is Acting, Directing, Playwriting,Technical Theater or a combination thereof. Our students graduate from our Theater Program prepared for graduate study, careers in the theater or other fields that demand creative, dynamic individuals.
