University Level Programs in Holocaust and Genocide Studies
The number of academic degree and teaching programs offered in the interdisciplinary field of Holocaust and Genocide Studies is growing throughout the world. GPN Genocide Prevention Now will regularly present profiles of individual programs so that students interested in pursuing this field will be able to further understand their options for study. Programs in Holocaust and Genocide Studies range from the only Ph.D. at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts, to various MA programs, undergraduate degrees, minors, concentrations within degree programs, graduate certificate programs, and an online program.
Note also that many universities and colleges have degree programs such as History, Political Science, and International Relations that allow students to choose a specialty in the area of Holocaust or genocide although there are no formal degrees offered in the fields of Holocaust and Genocide Studies. We are prepared to note such programs and/or professors who agree to identify themselves as welcoming dissertations on Holocaust/genocide. GPN is also in the process of setting up a Repository of Courses in Holocaust and Genocide Studies which will include course descriptions and links to syllabi to assist people at universities and colleges who are interested in developing courses in Holocaust and Genocide studies at their institution.
We are interested in receiving information about additional university and college level programs in Holocaust and Genocide Studies that do not appear in this Directory. We also invite readers to submit information, descriptions of individual courses and syllabi at universities and colleges in Holocaust and Genocide Studies that do not support full degree programs for GPN to include in the Repository of Courses in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. Our aim is to build a full directory of programs as well as courses in our field to better inform students who choose to study the field of Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
