The Mason Gross School of the Arts is Rutgers University's arts conservatory. Son Joseph had auditioned for entrance to the school last year and recently was notified of his acceptance.
Congrats Joe!
Mason Gross has been around for 30 years, after the fine arts programs were given their own degree granting school. It offers programs in Dance, Music, Theater Arts, and Visual Arts, and offers degrees up to the doctorate level. The current graduate and undergraduate enrollment is about 1000. The school is named after a former Rutgers president who dreamed of establishing a center for fine and performing arts. It is located on the Douglas campus, but includes many performing venues throughout Rutgers New Brunswick, NJ locations.
The music department offers degrees in classical performance, jazz and music education (Joe's major). Students perform a wide range of concerts, and often travel to show their expertise. The school has established a "Rutgers in New York" program with performances at Carnegie Hall and the Blue Note Jazz Club.
