The Hollywood Reporter has included Rutgers Theater Department in its 2025 list of top drama schools in the world, making special mention of Rutgers Conservatory at Shakespeare’s Globe and Golden Globe-winning alum Sebastian Stan.
Sebastian Stan trained at this New Jersey institution, which has transitioned from a three-and-a-half-year program to a four-year program, and sees undergrad acting students visiting London and studying at Shakespeare’s Globe in the fall of their fourth year. David P. Gordon took over as chair of the theater department in July 2024. The school accepts classes of about 50 and is in the process of creating more performance venues for student-initiated productions. Rutgers’s location means that students are able to regularly work with industry professionals who come in as guest artists as well as access opportunities in New York. In-state tuition is $14,222, and out-of-state is around $33,734.
