UNT's interdisciplinary Jewish Studies Program (JSP) began in the Fall 2000 semester
and is housed in the Department of Philosophy and Religion. The JSP is currently administered
by Dr. Asaf Angermann. The JSP is the only Jewish Studies program at a public university
in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The program includes 60 courses on Jews, Judaism, ancient
and modern Israel, and the Holocaust taught by 30 faculty across 10 departments. The
JSP offers an undergraduate minor (18 hours) and a certificate (12 hours) in Jewish
Studies and several scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students. The JSP
sponsors lectures, events, and discussions throughout the year. The JSP's extensive
collection of approximately 2,500 books and 350 films is housed in UNT's Willis Library
collection.
