The Jewish History and Culture program explores Jewish heritage through historical and literary studies spanning from ancient times to the contemporary era. The curriculum is organized into five historical segments: Jewish biblical interpretation, ancient Jewish civilization, medieval Jewish society, modern Jewish experience, and contemporary Jewish literature. While students typically concentrate on specific eras, the program emphasizes comprehensive understanding across all periods. Alternatively, students can pursue thematic concentrations, such as the evolution of Jewish scriptural analysis. Proficiency in classical Hebrew is required for program admission.

GSAS welcomes applications for admission from individuals who have or will have by the time of matriculation a BA, BS, or equivalent undergraduate degree (for prospective international students, a three- or four-year undergraduate degree from an institution of recognized standing) and actively seeks applicants from groups historically underrepresented in graduate schools.
Applicants who are non-native English speakers and who received their undergraduate degree from an academic institution where English is not the primary language of instruction must prove their English proficiency by earning either a minimum score of 80 on the Internet based test (iBT) of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or a minimum score of 6.5 on the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic test.
