Placing a strong emphasis on text study and Hebrew literacy, all academic programs include a unique transdenominational Rabbinical School, Cantor-Educator program, and the Internet’s first online master’s degree in Jewish Studies. The Hebrew College Fellows Program provides merit fellowships for outstanding degree candidates. Financial aid is also available.
