Master of Arts in Holocaust & Genocide Education

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Masters of Arts in Holocaust & Genocide Education prepares its students to create lessons, develop curricula and programs, and evaluate curricula and programs in Holocaust and Genocide Education. It brings deep content knowledge together with a strong constructivist pedagogy in order to help students consider what Holocaust and genocide education might look like across diverse settings. Additionally, this is an essential program, as New Jersey is one of eight states with a Holocaust & genocide teaching mandate, which requires P-12 teachers to teach about the Holocaust & genocides “at the earliest possible moment.”
