Welcome to Theatre & Dance at Montclair State University!

     Our programs feature both professional training and liberal arts study, exceptional faculty, and successful graduates.  With the campus just 12 miles from New York City, our location offers students the opportunity to see a wide variety of professional theatre & dance on and off-Broadway and to get their feet wet with professional internships, audition possibilities, and the arts resources of New York City.  Our students don't get lost in the crowd.  While course offerings are numerous, classes are small and students receive personalized attention.
