Jewish Theological Seminary, The The Graduate School Jewish Literature Graduate Admissions 3080 Broadway, Box 74 New York, NY 10027 US   Phone: 212-678-8032   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Master's M.A.-Jewish Literature Doctoral D.H.L.; PhD On Campus   JTS offers the only program that explores the full range of Jewish literary creativity, from medieval to modern times. Unlike other universities, we do not make students choose from among Hebrew, Yiddish, Judeo-Arabic, or Jewish writing in European languages. Our Jewish Literature Department offers thematic courses that cut across linguistic and temporal boundaries. Students achieve proficiency in the language(s) of their choice. As a general rule, literature courses in a specific language (Hebrew or Yiddish) are also taught in that language, thereby bringing students even closer to the modes of self-expression being studied. Students elect specialization in Medieval Hebrew Literature, Modern Hebrew Literature, or Modern Yiddish Literature and work toward the MA, DHL, and PhD degrees.     Accreditation Information: Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees An undergraduate or graduate degree with a concentration in literature is recommended.  Pre-Requisite Courses In addition to department or program requirements, all students must complete the year-long interdisciplinary seminar MDS 5101-5102; or demonstrate that the course material was taken for credit previously; or show proficiency by examination.
