About Spertus Jewish Studies Students
Our students come from across North America and around the globe. They pursue Jewish Studies for a range of personal and professional reasons aligned with their own interests and individual journeys. Some pursue their education for work they do in Jewish or interfaith communities. Others pursue learning for its own sake.
Our programs are high-impact and self-paced, so they draw students who are motivated and engaged. Are you ready to join them?
I am taking this opportunity to deepen my learning and explore Jewish texts in a more formal way.
