Note: With the establishment of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies on July 1, 2009, degrees and programs in the Faculty of Arts will be moved to the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies as of the Fall/Winter 2009-2010 Session. Grandparenting provisions have been developed for students continuing in degrees and programs currently offered in the Faculty of Arts.

York University students may earn an Advanced Certificate in Hebrew and Jewish Studies concurrent with fulfillment of the requirements for a bachelor's degree. This certificate is also open to students who already hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution, and who are admissible according to Faculty and University policies. This certificate is not, however, open to students who are pursuing or who already hold a degree in Hebrew and Jewish studies. To qualify for the Advanced Certificate in Hebrew and Jewish Studies, students must complete 12 credits in Hebrew language or literature offered in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics, and 24 additional credits in the areas of Hebrew language and literature and/or Jewish studies, for a total of 36 credits from the list of approved courses. No more than 18 of these credits may be taken at another university. At least 18 credits must be completed at the 3000 or 4000 level. The cumulative grade point average in all 36 credits must be at least 5.00 (C+). Detailed information, including the list of approved courses, is available in the Office of the Centre for Jewish Studies, 260 Vanier College, 416-736-5823 or the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics, South 561 Ross, 416-736-5016.
