Graduate Jewish StudiesGraduate School Website | Graduate School Application Doctoral ProgramsDoctoral students interested in Jewish Studies pursue research rooted in their home departments and disciplines, including the Department of History; the Department of Anthropology; the Department of Comparative Literature and the Graduate Division of Religion. Students in the Graduate Division of Religion must also choose a course of study in which to pursue their doctoral work; choices include Jewish Religious Cultures (Jewish texts, culture and ethnography) and the Jewish Interpretive Traditions track in Hebrew Bible. In addition to its many other strengths, Emory boasts the largest concentration of cross-disciplinary specialists in Judeo-Arabic languages, cultures and religions at any university outside Israel. Students with an interest in this field are encouraged to consult with the Director of Graduate Studies of the Tam Institute for Jewish Studies. TIJS is strongly supportive of graduate students in a number of ways. TIJS faculty and students gather regularly for cross-disciplinary exchange through the Faculty-Student Seminar Series in Jewish Studies. Visiting scholars often provide small-group seminars or one-on-one consultations with graduate students. Faculty and students also meet regularly for social events. Supplemental funding for doctoral students is available through TIJS for a variety of purposes. Particular efforts are made to provide funding for necessary summer language study and research. Scholarships and StipendsFull-tuition scholarships and stipends are available to students in the program through the Graduate School. Stipends carry research and/or teaching responsibilities.
