MEMORANDUM

To:
Academic Program Committee, College of Arts and Sciences
From: Mark A. Raider
Chair, Department of Judaic Studies
Director, Center for Jewish Studies
Re:
5 Year Early Admission Program B.A. in Judaic Studies/M.B.A.
Attached please find a proposal for a new program titled "5 Year Early Admission Program
B.A. in Judaic Studies/M.B.A." The proposal also includes a plan for the Judaic Studies
Major (36 credits) in combination with a Business Minor (18 credits). I am bringing the plan
to you for your review, and I respectfully request that you consider it for formal approval.
The proposed B.A./M.B.A. program was designed in consultation with Mr. John Levato in
the School of Business. Mr. Richard Collier (Undergraduate Studies), Dr. Stanley Isser
(Judaic Studies), and Dr. Gregory Stevens (College of Arts and Scie nces) reviewed
previous drafts of the proposal, offered useful suggestions, and helped make necessary
adjustments that resulted in its present form. The plan was formally approved by the
Department of Judaic Studies and has the support of Dean Paul Leonard of the School of
Business. It was also discussed at the recent winter meeting the Jewish Studies Advisory
Board, where it received an enthusiastic endorsement.
It is worth noting that the proposal does not include a request for funding from the
College, nor does the plan as a whole require any substantial investment of funds.
Meanwhile, the Center for Jewish Studies is prepared to invest its own funds in order to
publicize, promote, and manage the new B.A./M.B.A. program. Moreover, I intend to ask
the Jewish Studies Advisory Board and some community donors to help create a new
endowed fund to support worthy students who wish to enter the program.
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions. Thank you for
consideration in this regard.

Note: Prior to the start of the 4 th year, 90 credits of arts and sciences must be completed. MAT 108, MSI 215 and MGT
341 count as liberal arts and sciences. ACC 211, 222 and MKT 310 do not count as liberal arts and sciences credits. By
doing the Business minor, this sequence yields 83 liberal arts and sciences credits after the junior year. The missing 7
credits of liberal arts and sciences credits would need to be completed in the fall semester senior year while taking
Graduate School of Business courses.
If the student decides not to do the 18 credit Business minor, then replace ACC 211, MGT 341 and MKT 310 with four
courses toward a liberal arts and sciences minor (i.e. History or any other minor in liberal arts and sciences).
