Roosevelt Labor’s Choice, Forvertz, Nov. 1, 1936

Doctor of Philosophy

For those students seeking a deeper understanding of Jewish Studies through a doctorate, the Frankel Center has created strong relationships with Ph.D. granting departments and programs. Doctoral students engage Frankel Center faculty as informal academic mentors and formal dissertation advisors. These students may qualify for financial support (tuition support, summer research funding, etc).

Doctoral students may elect to pursue a Graduate Certificate to integrate their field of expertise with the interdisciplinary Judaic Studies. With a reasonable time commitment, students can make themselves considerably more desirable in a job market that continues to become more competitive.

The Graduate Certificate program requires 15 credits of course work.

  • 3 credits through a pro-seminar (Judaic Studies 601)
  • 3 credits through a capstone course (Judaic Studies 890)
  • 9 credits through Judaic Studies courses taught outstide the student's primary department

Students will be expected to have reading knowledge of at least one Jewish language, including Hebrew, Yiddish, Aramaic, Ladino, Judeo–Arabic, and/or Judeo–Persian.
