Jewish Literature

专业详情

The Jewish Literature program offers concentrations in Medieval Hebrew Literature, Modern Hebrew Literature, and Modern Yiddish Literature. Upon admission, each candidate must consult with the advisor to work out a course of study that will satisfy departmental requirements. No student will be permitted to register for any semester without the written consent of the advisor.

Students must achieve third-year competence in their respective languages.

Students entering the program will ordinarily be required to demonstrate superior performance in three literature courses if they have not done so previously. Students are permitted to register for courses counting toward the degree while fulfilling these prerequisites. It is expected that they will be taken during the first year of study.

In addition to courses required of all students in the Gershon Kekst Graduate School, at least 30 graduate credits are required.
