Academic Programs
The Jewish Studie
s program offers courses in departments across the humanities and social sciences. 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 30 in just five years.
The number of Jewish Studies faculty members has doubled in the Center’s first five years. In the 2008-09 academic year, 12 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.
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.
