About Jewish Theological Seminary of America
The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) mission was to preserve the knowledge and practice of historical Judaism. In 1887, JTS held its first class of ten students in the vestry of the Spanish-Portuguese Synagogue, New York City’s oldest congregation. Since then, JTS has greatly expanded its mission, creating a beautiful campus and evolving into the prestigious center of Jewish learning it is today. World-class faculty and a diverse student body grant undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees through enriching programs for the Jewish community in the US, Israel, and worldwide.
JTS online is an interactive space supporting students, leaders, and communities. The current graduate degree in education online can sharpen student focus in pedagogy, teaching, and educational leadership. Online degrees are specifically for nontraditional students seeking ultimate flexibility in their education. Join in on high-caliber professional development and lifelong learning with the Jewish Theological Seminary.
