Resource Type
  • Programs and Initiatives - Degree Programs
Gratz College offers several graduate degrees and certificates in both Jewish Communal Service and Jewish Education. The Masters of Arts degree in Jewish Communal Service (MAJCS) and the graduate-leve Certificate in Jewish Communal Service (CJCS), with a special track in Jewish Non-Profit Leadership (on-line), prepares students to serve as future Jewish communal professionals and enhances the Jewish studies background of those already employed in the community. The Master's degree and graduate-level certificate programs in Jewish education, including an online only certificate in Jewish Early Childhood Education, combine clinical knowledge of educational methodology and theory with strong grounding in Jewish studies. Students choose to concentrate in teaching or administration and may also pursue special tracks in day school and early childhood. Graduates emerge as experienced professionals who are prepared for positions of leadership and responsibility in a variety of formal and informal settings. Dual Degree options are available within the college, combining Jewish Communal Service, Jewish Education, Jewish Studies, or Jewish Music. Gratz College also offers an Ed.D. in Jewish Education. Additionally, there are several dual degree options with other area institutions such as: MBA from Temple University Fox School of Business, MSW from University of Pennsylvania, Early Childhood Education from Chestnur Hill College, PhD. in American Jewish History from Temple University, and Cantorial Investiture from Reconstructionist Rabbinical College.
