Academic Programs
In 2011, the University approved a new undergraduate degree program in Jewish Studies. The degree program will be offered through the Department of Religious Studies, where students will earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religious Studies with a Concentration in Jewish Studies.
Two academic minors – Jewish Studies and Modern Hebrew – continually attract a diverse group of Carolina students, and more than 1,000 Carolina students enroll in Jewish Studies courses each year. The number of Jewish Studies courses offered to Carolina students has grown to nearly 40.
The Jewish Studies program offers courses in departments across the humanities and social sciences.
Faculty
The number of Jewish Studies faculty members has doubled in the Center’s first few years. In the 2011-12 academic year, 14 faculty members will teach and conduct research in Jewish Studies at Carolina and funding is in place for three more faculty positions. Faculty members are based in seven different academic departments.
Study Abroad
Students have the opportunity to pursue Jewish Studies through study abroad programs in Israel, Czech Republic and several other countries. Students may also participate in archaeological excavations in Israel.
