Kean University is proud to announce a new graduate program.

MASTER OF ARTS IN HOLOCAUST AND GENOCIDE STUDIES


M.B.A. in Global Management Information SessionsInspired by Kean University’s longstanding commitment to multicultural pluralism and New Jersey’s educational mandate to teach public school students about Holocaust, genocide and prejudice, the Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies is a 36-credit interdisciplinary program that specifically studies the Holocaust and anti-Semitism and also requires an exploration of other genocides. The core curriculum includes an examination of the History of the Jewish People, the History of Anti-Semitism, and Holocaust in Literature and Film.

The Kean M.A. in Holocaust and Genocide Studies is the only master’s degree program in Holocaust available in the region. In addition, the Kean program goes beyond programs offered elsewhere because it emphasizes comparative genocides. Students examine at least two genocides and can choose to focus on the Armenian Genocide, Genocide on the African Continent (Colonial), Genocide in Asia, Native-American Genocide, or African-American Genocide and Slavery. Philosophical and theological aspects of the Holocaust and genocide from different perspectives are included in the course of study.

The Master of Arts in Holocaust and Genocide Studies program is especially appropriate for teachers but also offers opportunities for persons involved in diverse fields such as social work, psychology, criminal justice, law, public administration, and religion among others. Visit the program page.
