Online Jewish Education Certificate Program

Demand is increasing for well qualified teachers and administrators in day and supplementary schools, Jewish summer camps, youth organizations and other institutions in the Jewish community.

The undergraduate certificate is designed for those seeking a first credential in the field of Jewish Education. The certificate is designed to raise the level of Jewish knowledge and teaching skills of those already teaching or those desiring to teach in supplementary schools who have little or no formal background in Jewish Studies or Jewish Education.
