The Jewish and Israel Studies certificate is an undergraduate academic certificate that enables students and members of the community the flexibility to pursue Jewish and Israel Studies without commitment to the full minor. The required course work in Jewish and Israel Studies promotes interdisciplinary work which will allow students to pursue topics within Jewish and Israel Studies that are most relevant to their career paths and to gain knowledge of the religion, cultures and historical experiences of the Jewish people. The certificate also aims to promote Jewish and Israel Studies in the DFW community.

The Jewish and Israel Studies certificate is open to all majors and to others who are not full-time students. It is administered by the Jewish and Israel Studies program in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences.

To earn a certificate in Jewish and Israel Studies, students must complete 12 hours of Jewish and Israel Studies courses with a grade of C or above. At least nine hours must be upper-division 3000- and 4000-level courses. Students may choose these courses from the entirety of the Jewish and Israel Studies course offerings (listed on our web site, www.jewishstudies.unt.edu) in at least two departments. Three hours of internship credit can be accepted after approval by the director of the Jewish and Israel Studies Program.
