The Hartt School offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in music, dance, theatre, and associated disciplines.

The Hartt Community Division offers a variety of opportunities in music and dance for students of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.

In 1970, the school acquired a new Gress-Miles pipe organ;[2] it was inaugurated with a performance of Bach's Wir glauben all' an einen Gott.

The organ program's director, John Holtz, subsequently launched the International Contemporary Organ Music Festival which ran from 1971 to 1984, and brought world-wide attraction to Hartt with new organ music commissions and performances from major composers and organists, including Marilyn Mason, William Albright, Iannis Xenakis, and William Bolcom.
