Celebrating Five Years: 2003 - 2008

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 nine 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.
