Yeshiva College

Students who have completed their core course in a particular discipline (JHI, JTP, BIB) are eligible to request permission to take a course in that discipline at Revel. The Revel course can be counted as elective credit towards the completion of the undergraduate Jewish Studies requirement. Students must obtain the requisite form from the Office of the Deans and have it signed by the instructor of the Revel course to which they wish to gain admission, the chair of the Yeshiva College Jewish studies department and the associate dean of Yeshiva College. Students must then submit the form to the dean of Revel for final approval.

Syms students in MYP and SBMP who have completed the SSSB Jewish studies requirements and students who have completed two years in IBC and taken Bible 1000 as well as two YC-approved Jewish history courses are eligible to request permission. They must obtain the requisite form from the Office of the Deans and have it signed by the instructor of the Revel course to which they wish to gain admission and a dean of SSSB. Students must then submit the form to the dean of Revel for final approval.

Stern College and Sy Syms School of Business: Beren Campus

Students who have completed their six Jewish Studies distribution requirements and their Hebrew requirements are eligible to request permission. The Revel course can be counted as elective credit towards the completion of the remaining Jewish Studies requirement. They must obtain the requisite form from the Office of the Deans and have it signed by the instructor of the Revel course to which they wish to gain admission and a dean of the relevant school.

MA Program: Admissions Requirements

Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent from a recognized college or university and have a grade point average of at least B (3.0). Admission to the General Jewish Studies MA does not require Hebrew proficiency, though certain electives will be unavailable to students who lack such proficiency. With the exception of Modern Jewish History, however, pursuing any of the specialist tracks requires an academic background that includes documented evidence of a Hebrew proficiency adequate for the required readings. In the absence of such evidence, a Hebrew reading test may be required as part of the admission process. Beginners Biblical Hebrew courses will be available to students entering without Hebrew proficiency.
