Graduate Students
Master of Arts Degree in Jewish Studies
The Department of Jewish Studies no longer is accepting candidates for the M.A. in Jewish Studies program. Students currently enrolled in the program will be able to complete their degree requirements, but, per the above, no new students will be accepted and enrolled. Prospective students interested in Jewish Studies subjects are encouraged to apply to other Rutgers programs, including History, Religion, Classics, German, and Comparative Literature. Core faculty members in the Department of Jewish Studies are affiliated with all of these programs and can work with graduate students en route to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees.
Statement on Addressing Antisemitism
The Department of Jewish Studies at Rutgers University addresses antisemitism by teaching students of all backgrounds about the complex history, and the changing manifestations and consequences, of antisemitism. Students are encouraged to engage thoughtfully with these subjects in courses such as Antisemitism; History of the Holocaust; Between Nazism and Communism; Jews, Heretics, and the Inquisition; Holocaust Memory; Muslims, Christians, and Jews in Medieval Spain; Modern Jewish History; and many others. The faculty works assiduously to create a safe intellectual environment for all Rutgers students to learn about these and other challenging subjects.
