Jewish Studies at Carolina
Established in 2003, the Carolina Center for Jewish Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill unites the general public, students and faculty from various academic disciplines who share a common passion for a deeper understanding of Jewish history, culture and thought.
With 12 affiliated faculty members, undergraduate minors in Jewish Studies and Modern Hebrew, more than 1,000 students taking Jewish Studies courses each year, and an active outreach program and popular lecture series, the Center is a dynamic resource both on campus and beyond.
Looking ahead, the Center plans to create a comprehensive undergraduate program, complete with a B.A. in Jewish Studies.
A New Home for Jewish Studies
In April 2009, the Carolina Center for Jewish Studies moved to a new home - Coates Hall - on Franklin Street directly across from Morehead Planetarium. The new space, located on the third floor of the historic building, provides faculty and staff offices as well as a meeting room for academic seminars and events.
