At the Bud Shorstein Center for Jewish Studies, students can take individual classes or certificate programs consisting of eighteen credit hours in a given area. The Center also offers a major and a minor program. The Center’s curriculum encourages critical thinking, textual analysis, research, oral argumentation, and writing. The Samuel “Bud” Shorstein Writing Award recognizes three students annually. The Center also has a number of scholarship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as study abroad opportunities.
Our courses of study provide excellent preparation not only for students interested in Jewish communal institutions. It also provides fine preparation for graduate study in a variety of disciplines, and for professional tracks such as journalism and law.
