The skills honed through this rigorous course of study—including critical reading and research methods, the ability to produce well-crafted papers, and development of the art of oral argumentation—are essential in all fields and jobs our graduates will enter. Exposure to different cultures, religions, and perspectives will also give you the necessary background to work in an increasingly globalized world. Our students have gone on to successful careers in law, education (from early education to the university), medicine, social work, finance, media, library science, and museum work, among other fields. Students can also major in education with a concentration in Judaic studies, preparing them for a career in Jewish day schools.

The Jewish Federations of North America sponsors the Federation Executive Recruitment & Education Program (FEREP) scholarships as part of an employee recruitment and development effort. The FEREP awards are made to graduate students in exchange for at least two years of paid work in one of the North American Jewish federations.
The Jewish Community Centers (JCCs) of North America offer a set of graduate scholarships not unlike those handed out in FEREP, meaning they are intended to produce professional employees to work at the JCCs. Graduate students are given as much as $10,000 each year to pursue studies in such fields as nonprofit management, early childhood education, health and physical education, and Jewish studies.
This special category of scholarship is fairly easy to find, and its goal is to strengthen ties between the two Jewish communities of America and Israel.
