Judaeo-Christian Studies Study and Education

In-Depth Study and Education

The Institute of Judaeo-Christian Studies founded the Jewish-Christian Studies graduate program at Seton Hall University in 1975.

Master of Arts in Jewish-Christian Studies

The Institute allocates the majority its educational resources to scholarships and grants to matriculated graduate students in two programs at Seton Hall: the M.A. in Jewish-Christian Studies program and the M.A. in Theology with a concentration in Judaeo-Christian Studies program.

Our scholarship recipients compose an international body of students from diverse faith backgrounds from around the world and come from various walks of life. Many have continued their graduate studies and/or have earned their doctoral degrees in various scholarly fields at schools such as Fordham University, UC Berkeley, Jewish Theological Seminary, McGill University and The Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas.

Our Impact

We have awarded more than $2 million in scholarship aid to students who are matriculated in the M.A. program in Jewish-Christian Studies and the M.A. in Theology with a concentration in Judaeo-Christian Studies programs.

Our scholarship recipients learn to examine and strengthen shared fundamental values, practices, traditions and principles that guide their moral decisions and the ways in which they address complex religious, ethical and social issues that promote peace and justice. These students have applied the knowledge and skills they have gained across a broad spectrum of professions, vocations and specialties such as primary and secondary education, diplomacy, social welfare, humanitarian relief, Catholic and Protestant ministries, and Holocaust and Genocide Studies.

Through our scholarship and grants program we are helping to unite and empower a new, globally diverse generation of  scholars, educators and students who are dedicated to exploring and promoting their shared values, practices, traditions and peaceful pursuits.
