The Master of Science in Teaching (M.S.T.) in Theatre Education program offers students the unique opportunity to pursue an initial New Jersey teaching certificate† and a Master’s degree simultaneously. The program is designed to prepare individuals who have undergraduate degrees to be certified P-12 Theatre teachers.

The theater education program is designed for those with undergraduate theater degrees or at least 30 credits in theater arts who wish to teach theater in P-12 classrooms. Students whose undergraduate degree is in another content area (e.g., English, Social Studies, Spanish, French, etc.) may need to take as many as 30 additional credits in theater to meet certification requirements before being accepted into the program. Questions about appropriate undergraduate majors, academic sequences, or prerequisites should be directed to the program coordinator.
