Yeshiva University has partnered with the Philos Project to create the Hebraic Studies Program. This program offers students interested in the intersection between Jewish and Christian history, who meet the Philos Project's criteria, a curated pathway to receive a MA degree in Jewish Studies from BRGS. Participants in the Hebraic Studies Program take courses in Hebrew and in Jewish Studies. These courses equip students to study the Hebrew Bible in its original language and provide them with in-depth knowledge of Jewish history and practice and of the historical and intellectual interplay between Judaism and Christianity.
The program can be completed either on a full-time basis over four successive semesters (summer, fall, spring, summer) or on a part-time basis over two years. Courses are taught by world-class BRGS faculty and are offered in a hybrid format, allowing students to attend courses either remotely or in person. Additional information about the program is available on the Philos Project website.
