The program is offered in conjunction with the Institute of Jewish Studies, the world's most important academic center for Jewish learning and creativity, attracting scholars from all corners of the globe, and is considered to be modern Jewry's greatest school of Jewish teaching and research. The Institute of Jewish Studies includes the departments of Bible, Talmud, Hebrew Language, Jewish Thought, Hebrew Literature, History of the Jewish People and Comparative Folklore, Yiddish, and Jewish Languages, and houses numerous major research centers. ......

These courses are recognized by the University as equivalent to courses offered in its departmental degree programs. ......
