Gratz College — Attraction in Jenkintown

Perhaps See my earlier review that came through on a different server.. Excellent professors and good courses! A reputation that is still expanding. Four stars there!

Addendum: The college is in need of a museum or other such nonprofit facility management course. Other colleges and universities have entire programs in that. At Gratz, holocaust-genocide phd students cannot even pursue one such class, yet they may be called upon to staff single-person museums after graduation.

Also, independent study/research courses other than dissertations are sumerely disapproved, largely due to financial and administrative considerations. The college could reasonably charge what they need for those students desiring and willing to pay for such study. However great the curriculum may be, the college doesn't teach everything a student may wish or need to learn.

Finally: Only three credits for the dissertation?! THREE!? That's not nearly enough for such an extensive and detailed work.

The College has one of the best, most accessible Blackbaud/Canvas student websites in the business. 'Well structured!

I cannot seem to access the second review I issued. Thus, I could not amend it. Although I wouldn't want to substantially change that second one, I meant to say "extensive," NOT "expensive" dissertation...

Many of the professors were rabbis, as well as several with doctorates from Columbia, Yeshiva, Dropsie, Brandeis, and Harvard, as well as universities in Israel. Small student body guaranteed excellent...
