Jewish Ethics

专业详情

An undergraduate degree with a major in Jewish Studies, Religious Studies, Ethics, or its equivalent is beneficial but not required.

In addition to prerequisite courses, students are required to complete 30 graduate credits.

Depending on their career trajectory, students will have capstone project options. Students focusing on Jewish bioethics and/or those interested in more clinical work will complete a 150-hour internship and attend an accompanying biweekly seminar with other Jewish Ethics students at this stage. This yearlong, 3-credit class will give students the opportunity to process their internship with a facilitator and their peers while synthesizing this experience with the academic course work that they have taken. Students’ participation in the seminar and their field experience will culminate in a seminar paper. 

Those who are more interested in ethical theory or for whom a thesis will prove beneficial may apply to write a traditional master’s thesis. Students interested in writing a thesis should consult with their advisor and apply at the end of their first year of course work.
