Jewish Nonprofit Management

The Master of Arts degree offered at the Zelikow School of Jewish Nonprofit Management at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion ­adjacent to USC's University Park campus provides a solid academic and experiential foundation in Jewish studies, Jewish communal dynamics and nonprofit management.

Students may enroll in any USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work department of study as part of this dual degree program. Students begin coursework at the Zelikow School of Jewish Nonprofit Management during the summer and continue coursework at both institutions in the fall and spring semesters. Two summer sessions are completed at the Zelikow School of Jewish Nonprofit Management. The program is completed over 24 months. View the MSW/MAJNM course requirements by department and a breakdown of the curriculum schedule below. Be sure to review the application process for instructions on how to apply.

Scholarships and Tuition Assistance
