The College grants undergraduate and graduate degrees in Jewish Studies and Jewish Education, as well as certificates in Jewish Family Education, Jewish Early Childhood Education and Jewish Music.
Curricula emphasize text study and Hebrew literacy.
Students gain a broad knowledge of Judaica and develop a specialization in an area of interest, and those completing the Master's degree demonstrate expertise through a major project in their final semester. Academic rigor is complemented by a supportive learning environment where subjects are taught without ideological bias, and questioning and debate are encouraged in the mode of classical Jewish inquiry. Students build a sound foundation in Jewish texts, thought, history, ethics, literature, culture and Hebrew language. Guiding students' intellectual and personal growth are some of the nation's top Judaic scholars-the Hebrew College faculty. Studying Hasidism with Dr. Nehemia Polen or Hebrew poetry with Dr. Gila Ramras-Rauch, students benefit from the knowledge and experience of gifted scholars whose love of Jewish learning is inspirational.
