The Combined BA/MA program in Jewish Studies follows rules established by the University for individual programs. The program allows students to take nine graduate credits while still undergraduates and have them count toward both their BA degree and an MA degree. As a result, students enter the Jewish Studies MA program having only 21 credits to complete. JWST majors and majors in other departments and disciplines are eligible to apply for the program.
During the student's Senior year the student applies to the Graduate School for an MA in Jewish Studies
Acceptance into the Combined BA/MA Program is not complete without the signed approval of the Director of Jewish Studies, the Chair of the student's major department (if not Jewish Studies), and the Director of the Graduate School. These signatures are to appear on the Graduate School's "Combined Bachelors / Masters Form."
Acceptance into the Combined BA/MA Program by Jewish Studies does not constitute admission to the Graduate School, nor does it guarantee admission to the Graduate School.
