Certificate program
in holocaust studies
This program is open to all degree-seeking undergraduates and can supplement any major program of study.
Overview
The Bud Shorstein Center for Jewish Studies offers an interdisciplinary certificate program in Holocaust Studies. It provides background for a variety of career choices ranging from the study of law, to human rights work, to employment with NGOs, to K-12 education, to international business, to museum or library employment.
Students completing the certificate program learn about the Holocaust itself as well as how major authors, government leaders, legal scholars, filmmakers, artists, museum curators, and others have reacted to and understood the Holocaust. Students emerge with a sense of how global discourse has understood, failed to understand, and even manipulated the notion of the unspeakable. Finally, students will themselves be able to think and argue broadly as to the nature of humanity and mass crime.
The certificate requires five courses or 15 credit hours, distributed as follows.
