Professional Opportunities after School

Graduates of our Jewish professional leadership tracks are actively sought after and have held positions in international, national, regional and local Jewish communal settings. Having two degrees, the MA in Jewish Studies together with the MPA, will enable graduates to move vertically within a field or to move from one sector to another.

The teacher's certificate in Jewish education enhances the credentials of individuals who have a strong interest in informal Jewish education.
