Holocaust Studies - Multi-Disciplinary M.A. Degrees

Museums dedicated to preserving the facts and history of the Holocaust are pervasive all over the world.  Scholarship on the Holocaust, however, is not.  Even in Israel.  The University of Haifa is changing that with Israel’s first and only multi-disciplinary, English-language, graduate program in Holocaust Studies.

Sixty years after the Holocaust, world-class educators at the University of Haifa are creating and nurturing the next generation of Holocaust scholars.  Emphasizing a comprehensive approach, the program offers exposure to disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, training in multiple research techniques, archive work in Israel and abroad, and the study of European languages essential for primary research.

Graduate School of Creative Art Therapies

A highly valued modality in many medical, educational, and social welfare settings, creative art therapies use non-verbal exchange and communication including dance, drama, music, and the visual arts.  This provides a safe outlet for individuals to express emotions and formulate new perceptions that lead to positive change, growth, and healing.  The school’s founder and director, Professor Rachel Lev-Wiesel, has created an international center of excellence, providing students with the highest level of instruction and clinical training, and expanding the academic body of research in the field of expressive art therapies.
