Undergraduate Concentration in Pre-Teaching

The Pre-Teaching Concentration provides a breadth of knowledge in acting, theatre history, dramatic literature, directing, technical theatre, and children’s theatre, to prepare students with the requisite, well-rounded background in theatre needed to teach P-12 and/or become professional teaching artists. Pre-Teaching students are expected to be expert practitioners of theater and take advanced technique classes alongside all theatre majors. This concentration prepares students to apply for the Rowan University’s Master of Science in Teaching (MST) program in the College of Education. The theatre courses in this Concentration are aligned to New Jersey Department of Education’s requirements. All students who complete the Pre-Teaching Concentration can apply to Rowan’s MST teacher certification program if they pass the Praxis I (Core subject matter) and Praxis II (Theatre subject matter) national tests to enter the program.
