M.A. to Ph.D. (75 credits total)

Students have the option of applying to both the M.A. and Ph.D. programs in Antisemitism Studies at the same time.

The M.A. to Ph.D. in Antisemitism Studies is a total of 75 credits, 27 M.A. credits and 48 Ph.D. credits. M.A. students who are approved to continue into the Ph.D. program do NOT have to complete a master’s thesis or final project.

After 18 M.A. credits, students will be reviewed by the program director to determine if they are qualified to continue on to the doctorate. If approved by the program director, M.A. students will need to meet minimal standards of GPA (3.5) while completing their M.A., in order to continue on into the Ph.D. program.

M.A. students who are approved to continue into the Ph.D. program pay the M.A. tuition rate for the first 27 credits and then pay the Ph.D. rate after that. After completing 27 M.A. credits, M.A. students approved by the program director may begin to take Ph.D. courses.

Students who elect not to continue on to the doctorate, or who are not accepted to continue by the program director, will complete the 36-credit M.A. requirements with a thesis or final project and required electives as designated in the original MAHGS.

If a student has already completed the first 9 credits of the doctoral program and then decides to opt out of the Ph.D., those 9 credits (3 courses) will be applied back to the M.A. requirements, and the student may graduate with a terminal master’s degree with no thesis or final project.

Students who have completed the Gratz College MAASM or MAHGS who wish to apply to the M.A.-Ph.D. combined program must do so within two years of receiving their Gratz MA. Gratz M.A. graduates may be awarded up to 9 credits towards the Gratz College Ph.D. at the discretion of the program director.

Students may still apply separately for the distinct MAASM or MAHFS (36 credits including final project/thesis) and Ph.D. (48 credits including proposal and dissertation) program options.

Students enrolling in the Gratz Ph.D. with a completed master’s degree from outside of Gratz College will not receive any transfer credits toward the Gratz Ph.D.

Graduate Certificate (12 credits)

4 Electives of student's choice from Antisemitism Studies Master's level (ASM) course selection
All courses are three credits, unless otherwise noted.

Courses taken for a graduate certificate in Antisemitism Studies may be applied towards the M.A. in Antisemitism Studies degree requirements, should the student wish to continue studying.
