Graduate Certificate in Jewish Christian Studies

The Department of Religion offers a graduate certificate (12 credits) in Jewish-Christian Studies.

A Jewish-Christian critical awareness equips students for many facets of interreligious and multicultural encounters. Courses are rooted in the study of sacred texts in their historical and socio-religious world context, utilizing critical methods to promote an honest and in depth analysis of the individuals and communities that produced them. Courses examine the religious, ethical and social issues that are central for understanding Christians and Jews today through cross-cultural and phenomenological studies and dynamic analysis.
