In 1960, during the Fluxus movement at the university, Rutgers established the Rutgers MFA in visual arts as the first non-displicinary-specific fine arts graduate program in the United States. Mason Gross was founded in 1976 as a school of the fine and performing arts within Rutgers University.
That year, Mason Gross became a separate degree-granting institution from the other undergraduate colleges. Drama teacher William Esper founded and led the professional training in acting from 1977 to 2004. All fine arts departments at the other Rutgers colleges were merged into Mason Gross in 1981. Theater actor, director, and playwright Jack Bettenbender served as first dean of the school, from 1976 until his death in 1988.
As of 2005, MGSA had expanded to more than 20 buildings, mainly within Rutgers' Douglass College campus and including studios at the Livingston campus. The Bettenbender Plaza outdoor space was dedicated in 2002 to honor founding dean John Bettenbender. The square is a gathering spot for students between classes, the site of impromptu performances and an outdoor setting for evening events. Actor and director Avery Brooks gave the dedication. Bettenbender Plaza sits in front of Nicholas Music Center, a 704-seat music hall designed by Pietro Belluschi, and the Mason Gross Performing Arts Center, which is home to more than 300 performances and exhibitions a year.
Slightly up river from the primary MGSA campus and south of the train station is the City of New Brunswick's downtown Civic Square. This arts and theater district is home to off-campus Mason Gross studios, galleries, and stages. The Civic Square Building at 33 Livingston Avenue contains studio facilities and classrooms.
It stands next to the former silent film movie palace which is now the State Theatre for performing arts.
The New Brunswick Performing Arts Center opened in Civic Square in 2019.
