Thank you very much for your interest in Jewish Studies at McGill.
The Department of Jewish Studies offers an ad hoc Phd and both thesis and non-thesis M.A. Programs. The thesis option is intended for students interested in the following areas: Biblical Studies, Jewish Thought, Jewish History, Language, Literature and Culture, Rabbinic Studies, and Modern Jewish Studies. These areas are broadly construed to accommodate the range of research interests in the Department. The non‑thesis program permits students to acquire a generalist degree in Jewish Studies with advanced work in the areas of Jewish History, Jewish Thought and Jewish Literature.
We welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your plans and to try to answer any questions that you might have. Please schedule a live or a virtual appointment with our Director of Graduate Studies (chris.silver [at] mcgill.ca) or with our chair (eric.caplan [at] mcgill.ca).
