More and more
colleges and universities, public, private, and parochial schools are
adding Holocaust and genocide studies to their curriculum. And more and
more teachers, librarians, museum curators and administrators are
realizing the importance of preparing themselves for the study of these
subjects.
With this in mind,
a Master of Arts degree in Holocaust and Genocide Studies has been
developed to help scholars pursue the study of the Holocaust and other
genocides and to seek answers as to how they may be prevented. Because
this study involves more than the history of the development of
genocides, various departments are supplying courses that provide
greater understanding of the forces leading to them.
The Masters Degree requires thirty credits. A thesis, if preferred, will
fulfill six
credits. A Certificate of Studies requires 15 credits.
