Executive Summary This report and directory finds the state of
education about Israel greatly improved since
the original study in 2006. The data suggest
that many more opportunities to study Israel
on college campuses are available now as
compared to three years ago. More colleges
and universities offer courses focused on
Israel, and those that offered courses in 200506 are offering a greater number of courses
today. More than that, the study finds a
“normalization” of Israel study within the
university curriculum. From course titles and
descriptions, we see a move toward viewing
Israel as a culture, society, political system,
and historical entity rather than solely as a
locus for international conflict. Although
many decry a perceived anti-Israel sentiment
on campus, education rather than
demonstration is the core mission of the
university, and in that arena, we see an
impressive increase in the study of Israel.
The directory includes 316 four-year colleges
and universities: top-ranked national
universities and liberal arts colleges, state
universities, and schools with large Jewish
populations. The list also includes secular,
Christian, and Jewish sectarian institutions.
Although the directory draws heavily from
areas with large Jewish populations, it
represents all parts of the country and
includes schools with very few or no Jewish
students.
In contrast with the 2006 study, this directory
extends beyond courses specifically focused
on Israel to include those that address modern
Israel in other less central but nonetheless
substantive ways, for example, courses on the
politics of the Middle East or modern Jewish
history. The directory includes those that
specifically focus on Israel and those that
include Israel as a unit or important element
in their syllabi.¹ Courses specifically focused
on Israel have been counted separately for
comparison purposes.
We distinguish courses in the directory and in
this report as:
 Israel-focused—courses devoting
almost all of their content to Israel
 Israel-related—those that deal with
Israel less centrally
 Israel-content—the total of Israelfocused and Israel-related courses,
those that can be said to contain any
information about modern Israel
An analysis of the directory led to several
specific and important findings:
Compared to 2005-6
 There has been a dramatic 69%
increase in the number of Israelfocused courses. The 246 institutions
included in both studies increased
Israel-focused courses from 325 in
2006 to 548 in 2008-09
 Of the top 20 national universities in
U.S. News and World Report rankings in
2008-09, all but one offered Israelfocused courses in 2008-09 and 12,
more than half, offered four or more.
In 2006 five offered no Israel-focused
courses, and only three offered four or
more
1

Searching for the Study of Israel 2008‐09
Courses in 2008-09
 90% of the 316 schools in the 2008-09
directory offer at least one Israelrelated course, and 58% offer at least
one Israel-focused course
 Almost half of the schools (48%)
offered four or more Israel-content
courses, and 17% offered four or
more courses specifically focused on Israel
 A total of 1401 courses with Israelcontent were offered by the 316
schools, with 579 specifically focused
on Israel
Factors related to the number of Israel-content courses
 Schools with large undergraduate
populations, and those with a high
percentage of Jewish students,
typically offered more courses about
Israel, but schools with small
undergraduate populations and small
percentages of Jewish students also
offered courses with Israel content  The top-ranked schools, as designated
by U.S. News and World Report, typically
offered more Israel-related and Israelfocused courses than those with lower
ranking
A broad base of Israel courses
 A variety of departments offered
courses about Israel in 2008-09. The
majority of Israel-content courses
came from history and political
science, not from Jewish or Middle
East Studies, and most courses went
well beyond the Arab-Israeli conflict.
This suggests a normalization of Israel
as a subject within established
disciplines The study’s authors hope these findings and
others in this report will serve as a guide to
understanding the state of Israel education
and the challenges and opportunities that lie
ahead.
Searching for the Study of Israel 2008‐09
Introduction In 2006, the Israel on Campus Coalition
(ICC), in partnership with the Charles and
Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation
(CLSFF), Hillel: the Foundation for Campus
life, and a network of national organizations
committed to promoting Israel education and
advocacy on campus, compiled a directory of
opportunities to study about Israel on
campuses across the United States. Interest in
the topic was spurred by concern that
academic scholarship and the information
flow about Israel had been scarce. Students on
most campuses, the ICC believed, had little
opportunity to learn about Israel, a country
much in the news and subject of extensive
debate. The ICC also believed that much of
the teaching that was available was biased and
ill-informed and largely originated from
hostile groups on campus aiming to
delegitimize the Jewish state (In Search of Israel
Studies, 2006). In that study, researchers for
the ICC searched online course listings and
catalogs in order to document the Israelfocused course offerings of approximately 400
colleges and universities in North America.
The report found that 53% of these
institutions offered no Israel Studies courses
and that most of the remainder offered no
more than one. Nine universities had Israel
Studies centers, but very few other institutions
offered more than minimal substantive
teaching about Israel.
In the same year, the American Israeli
Cooperative Enterprise (AICE), with funding
from CLSFF, undertook an ambitious
program to help address these concerns.²
AICE and CLSFF designed a program to seed
Israel Studies on college and university
campuses across the United States by
providing the campuses with visiting Israeli
professors (VIPs) who could teach balanced
and academically rigorous courses about
Israel. The VIPs, senior scholars from a
variety of fields, come to their host campuses
to teach four courses a year (at least two of
these courses specifically focused on Israel).
CLSFF, along with several other individuals
and foundations, provides 50% of the salary
requirements for up to two years—a period
they consider adequate to stimulate interest in
the subject and prove the attractiveness of the
topic to university decision-makers. AICE and
its funders hope that by the end of the
appointment, the host university will have
developed internal sources to fund permanent
appointments or ongoing visiting positions in
Israel Studies. Through 2008-09, a total of 52
VIPs at 40 universities offered almost 200
Israel-related courses on campus. In
2009-10 alone, 26 VIPs are teaching on 26
campuses. In addition to teaching courses,
VIPs provide on- and off-campus lectures and
participate in panel discussions and
conferences. They consult with students,
appear in the media, and serve as a presence
for Israel and its scholarship on campus.
A second element of the AICE program—the
Schusterman Israel Scholars Awards (SISA)—
provides graduate fellows with $15,000 per
year stipends to pursue Israel Studies. The
belief underlying the program is that the
demand for Israel-related courses on campus
created by the VIPs will facilitate the creation
of tenure-track positions for the SISA fellows.
To date, three former fellows have tenure
track positions in the academy, and two other
3
4
Searching for the Study of Israel 2008‐09
former fellows have temporary teaching
positions as well.
In 2004, Brandeis University’s Summer
Institute for Israel Studies (SIIS), also made
possible through funding from CLSFF and
others,³ initiated an effort to create capacity
for teaching about Israel from within existing
college and university faculties. Targeting
institutions globally (in Brazil, China, Great
Britain, Turkey, and Australia, as well as the
United States and Canada), SIIS provides a
two-week, fully-funded seminar on all aspects
of Israeli society, culture, politics, and history
taught by senior academics from Israel and
elsewhere. This intensive program is followed
by a ten-day study tour of Israel during which
SIIS fellows meet with Israeli political and
cultural leaders in a variety of settings.
Following the seminar and the study tour,
SIIS provides the fellows with online
resources and workshops to enrich their
understanding of Israel. Since their
participation in the program, SIIS 2004-08
fellows, coming from over 100 different
institutions, have offered more than 150
courses about Israel.
A third program designed to seed Israel
Studies on university campuses, the Israel
Studies Project of the Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Chicago, has enabled the
appointment of Israeli visiting scholars at
Chicago area universities. Since 2005, the
program has helped to expand education
about Israel at Northwestern University;
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign;
University of Chicago; and University of
Illinois, Chicago.
CLSFF, which together with other donors
funds both the AICE program and SIIS,
asked the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish
Studies at Brandeis University (CMJS) to
revisit the ICC directory, In Search of Israel
Studies, and update it with data from 2008-09.
The CMJS research team developed a list of
over 300 colleges and universities—most, but
not all, overlapping with the 2006 study (see
Appendix A, Methodology)—and has
included in its listing:


Israel-focused courses such as History of
Modern Israel, and Film, Fiction, and the
Construction of Identity— Israeli and
Palestinian Voices Israel-related courses defined broadly
(those with Israel in their course
descriptions but not the principal focus of
the course), e.g., Culture & Society of the
Middle East and North Africa, and Modern
Judaism This report uses the term Israel-content
courses to refer to the combination of Israelrelated and Israel-focused courses.
The research explores changes in the
landscape of Israel Studies since 2006 and
provides a point of comparison for future
studies. The report is presented as a directory
so that users can find schools and identify
areas of strength and weakness. Funders have
given generously to the task of making
academically sound education about Israel
available in colleges and universities in the
United States. The following study
documents, in one way, the extent of their
success.4

Discussion of Findings 2008-09 Sample Characteristics
Regional Distribution
The 2008-09 directory lists Israel-content
course offerings at 316 colleges and
universities across the United States. The
sample was designed to represent a variety of
institutions of higher learning, with heavier
weight given to leading research universities
and highly ranked liberal arts colleges. All toptier national universities and liberal arts
colleges based on U.S. News and World Report
rankings are included in the directory.5 Fouryear institutions with large Jewish
undergraduate populations (20% or more of
their undergraduate enrollment) based on
estimates from Hillel are also included, as are
public, private non-sectarian, Christian, and
Jewish institutions from all regions of the
United States.
The distribution of institutions by region is
roughly proportional to the distribution of all
institutions of higher learning with a heavier
representation of the East Coast. Colleges and
universities in New England and the Middle
Atlantic account for over a third (37%) of all
schools in the sample. The directory drew
slightly more heavily from these regions
because they are home to the greatest
concentrations of Jews and institutions with
large Jewish populations. The Midwest is
somewhat underrepresented. Figure 1
illustrates the sampling by region, comparing
the distribution of four-year institutions in the
College Board College Search website (http://
collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/

Size and Jewish Populations
The directory includes a range of schools by
size and affiliation. Figure 2 shows that almost
half the schools (48%) have fewer than 5000
undergraduates. Institutions with 20,000 or
more undergraduates comprise 19% of the
sample. This distribution does not reflect the
overall distribution of colleges and universities
by size6 but, rather, those institutions with
larger Jewish populations and higher rankings
in U.S. News and World Report.
Most, but not all, institutions in the sample
had significant Jewish populations according
to the Hillel website (Figure 3). Jewish
students comprise more than 11% of
undergraduate enrollment at more than a
quarter of the schools. Four institutions have
mostly or completely Jewish enrollments:
Yeshiva University, the Jewish Theological
Seminary, Touro College, and American
Jewish University. Schools classified as
“unknown” have no count available (18%)
and are assumed to have only a few or no
Jewish students. Figure 3 shows the
distribution of schools by size of Jewish
population. The schools with the largest
absolute number of Jewish undergraduates
have between 1000 and 6500.

The colleges and universities in the directory
represent over three million undergraduates
including over 250,000 Jewish undergraduates.
The vast majority of colleges and universities
included in the directory are secular
institutions: 124 public and 134 private
institutions account for 82% of the directory’s
institutions. These secular universities and
colleges comprise an even greater majority of
the undergraduate population (92%).
Israel Course Offerings
The directory lists all courses which address
Israel, Israeli culture, politics, or society as the
whole content or any part of their subject area
(Israel-content courses). These courses can be
divided into those that are specifically about
Israel (Israel-focused courses), and those that
deal with Israel more tangentially (Israelrelated courses).
The 316 schools in the directory offered 1401
Israel-content courses in 2008-09. Of those,
579 were Israel-focused and 822 were Israelrelated. Issues in Israeli Politics, a course offered
in the history department at Stony Brook
University, The Arab-Israeli Conflict, offered by
the government department at Dartmouth
College, and Mizrahi Music and the Construction
of Israeli National Culture, offered by Middle
Eastern Studies at UC Berkeley are examples
of Israel-focused courses.
The Middle East in World Affairs Since 1945
(offered at Lehigh University) is categorized as
Israel-related rather than Israel-focused even
through its description states it devotes one
half to two-thirds of the semester to the ArabIsraeli conflict. Modern Jewry: Upheaval and
Response at Kalamazoo College is considered
Israel-related as is Conflict and Peacemaking in the
Middle East.
Boston College provides an example of how
the study classifies Israel-content courses. The
college offered three Israel-focused courses in
2008-09: Israelis & Palestinians: Two Peoples,
Three Faiths (Theology), Social Justice in Israel/
Palestine (Sociology), and History and
Historiography of the Arab-Israeli Conflict
(History). The college also offered three
courses we consider Israel-related: Language,
Memory, and Identity in the Middle East
(Sociology), Modern Middle Eastern and Arabic
Literature (Slavic Studies & Linguistics), and
Middle East on Film: Anthropological Perspectives
(Sociology).
In most cases, course descriptions do not
allow for an assessment of the proportion of
the content concerning Israel and, in some
cases, course descriptions were not available.
We do assume, however, based on many
accessed course descriptions, that the
presence of courses about the modern Middle
East represents interest in the culture, society,
and politics of the region of which Israel is
part, that faculty members have knowledge
and the desire to teach such courses, and that
students enroll because they find the topics
interesting or relevant to their fields of study.
Likewise, we assume that Israel is part of any
course on modern Jewish history or culture.

Courses about Israel in 2008-09
Of the 316 schools in the directory, 12 have
Israel Studies programs and 17 have chairs
(although they may not all be filled), but most
(62%) offer three or more Israel-content
courses. Figure 4 shows that almost half
(49%) offered four or more Israel-content
courses, and only 10% had no such courses at
all. Over half the schools in the directory
(58%) offered at least one course specifically
focused on Israel, and 17% (54 schools)
offered four or more.
Not surprisingly, the size of the institution—
the number of undergraduates—appears to be
related to the number of Israel-content
courses offered (Figure 5). Of the colleges and
universities with fewer than 2000
undergraduates, only 19% offered four or
more courses with Israel content. Of the
medium-sized schools with 5000-9999
undergraduates, 75% offered four or more
courses. The largest schools, those with
10,000 or more undergraduates, have a
somewhat smaller but still large percentage of
schools offering four or more courses (59%).
Some small schools do offer a variety of
Israel-content courses. For example,
Haverford College, Drew University, Bryn
Mawr, Goucher, Amherst, and Claremont
McKenna all offer six or more courses with
some Israel content, and all but one of these
(Drew University) offer at least one course
specifically focused on Israel. On the other
hand, there are 38 large schools—those with
15,000 or more undergraduates—that offer
six or more courses about Israel, and all but
four of those offer at least three courses that
focus specifically on Israel.

The percentage and the absolute number of

the number of courses with Israel content,
and this holds true for Israel-related as well as
9
Israel-focused courses. Schools with very few
or an unknown number of Jewish students
offer relatively few courses about Israel
(Figures 6-7).

Numb er of Jewish Undergraduates
Searching for the Study of Israel 2008‐09
Perhaps surprisingly, however, having a very
small or unreported Jewish population does
not mean the complete absence of Israelcontent or even Israel-focused courses.
Almost a third of schools with no reported
Jewish population offered one or more Israelfocused courses, although most of these
offered only one.
students, offered a course entitled Modern
Israel, and Stonehill College, a Roman Catholic
women’s college outside of Boston, offered a
course in Religious Studies entitled Hard
Rockin’ Jews: Judaism and Pop Culture in Israel.
Notably, both Sweet Briar and Stonehill
colleges have fellows from SIIS on their
faculty.
The following schools, for example, with
enrollments under 2000 students and no
identified Jewish population according to the
Hillel website, offered courses specifically
about Israel. Fairfield University, a small Jesuit
college in Connecticut; the Citadel, an elite
military college in South Carolina; and
Gonzaga University, a Roman Catholic
college in Washington State all offered
courses on the Arab-Israeli conflict. Sweet
Briar College, a women’s college with 800
School ranking also appears to be related to
the number of Israel-content courses offered
(Figure 8). Almost all of the top-ranked
national universities (96% of those ranked
1-25 and 88% of those ranked 26-50) offered
four or more Israel-content courses. The same
relationship holds for liberal arts colleges,
although the overall percentage of schools
with four or more Israel-content courses is
smaller.

the majority (60%) of Israel-focused courses

Most Israel-content courses were not offered
in Jewish Studies or Israel Studies programs
but rather in traditional departments such as
history or political science. Of the 1401 Israelcontent courses offered in 2008-09, 28% were
listed by a history department, and 25% by
political science or international relations.
Indeed many were offered by Jewish Studies
or Hebrew departments (22%) or religious
studies departments (6%), but other
departments (anthropology, comparative
literature, and Middle East Studies, etc.) also
offered courses about Israel (Figure 9). For
example, Geography of the Middle East and Africa
was offered in the Geography Department of
the United States Air Force Academy.
Of the Israel-focused courses, 40% originated
in Jewish Studies or Hebrew departments
(Figure 9, first bar). Perhaps some of these
can be thought of as “heritage” courses, but
At Truman State University in Missouri, a
course entitled Cultural Crossroads, offered as a
Junior Interdisciplinary Seminar, included
“Jerusalem/Al Quds - An interdisciplinary
approach to understanding the 4000-year-old
city, a center of strife for much of its history,
and essential to the political and religious
aspirations of many groups with apparently
conflicting goals.” Northwestern University
offers Modern Hebrew Literature in Translation in
its Comparative Literature Department, and
the University of Miami in Florida offers
Music in Hebrew Culture in its Department of
Musicology. The fact that 91% of all Israelrelated courses, and 60% of all Israel-focused
courses, were offered by disciplines outside of
specific area studies or “heritage” programs
suggests not only a broader focus but a
broader audience as well.

Approximately 28% of the Israel-focused
courses (slightly more than 11% of all Israelcontent courses) center on the Arab-Israeli
conflict, i.e., over 150 have in their titles the
word “conflict,” Arab-Israel(i), or “Palestine”
or “Palestinians” in a contemporary context.
But neither title nor course description allow
for neat categorization. The Middle East in the
20th Century, a course offered by Wesleyan’s
history department surveys
the history, culture, and religion of
the contemporary Middle East.
Emphasis is on the historical roots
of current problems. These include
the Arab-Israeli conflict,
Westernization versus Islam, U.S.
involvement in the region, and the
Sunni-Shia divide within Islam.

Delaware includes the conflict as a topic
among other elements of Israeli society, but
would not be categorized as a course on the
conflict:
Many factors contribute to a diverse
and intriguing Israeli society. Topics
include the roots of Zionism, the
concept of the Israeli Sabra, the
effects of the Holocaust, ethnic
groups and the Arab-Israeli conflict
through history, film, literature and
music.
Hebrew and Arabic Language Instruction
More than half of the schools in the directory
(51%) offer Hebrew and Arabic language
instruction; another 16% offer only Arabic,
and 10% offer only Hebrew (Figure 10).
Schools that offer these languages of Israel are
more likely to offer additional courses about
Israel (Figure 11-12).

Although the directory notes very few
universities with Israel Studies programs,
there exists a relatively wide variety of colleges
and universities with opportunities to study
about Israel. Research conducted separately
(Koren & Einhorn, 2010) suggests that
demand for courses about Israel is strong.
Department chairs at most of the colleges and
universities with Schusterman and other
AICE visiting Israeli professors described
fully-enrolled Israel-related courses and
substantial student interest—not only in
courses centered on the conflict, but those
about Israeli culture and internal politics as
well. More research needs to be done,
however, before the observations of these
department chairs can be generalized to the
larger number of institutions in this directory.
Comparison of 2005-06 and 2008-09
Course Listings
The 2008-09 directory contains information
on 316 institutions, 246 of which overlap with
the 2006 directory. The strongest finding from
a comparison of the two is the significantly
greater number of schools in 2008-09 than in
2005-06. It is possible that the 2006 directory
likely overestimated the number of Israel-
focused courses because the directory drew
from both course listings and course catalogs.
The latter usually contain all courses taught as
part of the regular curriculum regardless of
the year. The 2008-09 report’s estimate for
Israel-focused courses is necessarily
conservative in order to best compare to
2006; the authors classify as Israel-focused
only courses with Israel in the title, an obvious
Israel concentration in the course description,
or those dealing with modern Hebrew
literature and culture. Because the 2006
directory included only Israel-focused courses,
the discussion which follows is restricted to
such courses.7
Israel-Focused Courses
In 2005-06, 325 courses were offered in the
246 institutions included in both directories;
in 2008-09, 548 courses were offered—a 69%
increase (Figure 13). We do not have direct
evidence about the reasons for this dramatic
expansion in course offerings, but two
possibilities are that (a) faculty are responding
to increased interest in the study of Israel
among students, in particular the more than
100,000 students who have participated in
Taglit-Birthright Israel (Saxe & Chazan, 2008),

and (b) an increase in philanthropic support
for visiting professors, new faculty positions,
and development of existing faculty (SIIS).
Of the colleges and universities included in
both directories, 99 (40%) offered no Israelfocused courses in 2005-06; 84 (34%) offered
no such courses in 2008-09. In 2005-06, 24
institutions (10%) offered four or more Israelfocused courses; in 2008-09, 54 institutions
(22%) offered four or more Israel-focused
courses—a 125% increase over 2005-06
(Figure 14).
Efforts to increase the availability of Israel
courses on campus are not diffused equally
around the academy. Some institutions (15%)
actually offered fewer courses in 2008-09 than
in 2005-06 and 104 (42%) remained the same.
The remaining 41%, however, increased
course offerings specifically about Israel
(Figure 15) with 15% (38 institutions)
increasing offerings by three or more courses
(Appendix B, Table B-1).

Top-Ranked Schools
The 2006 directory listed the number of
Israel-focused courses for the U.S. News and
World Report top 20 schools and the Ivy
League. In 2005-06, four of the current top 20
U.S. News and World Report national
universities offered four or more courses
specifically focused on Israel. In 2008-09, 12
of the top 20 national universities—more than
half—offered four or more courses (Table 1).
The top liberal arts colleges experienced a less
noticeable increase in Israel-focused courses.
Of the top 100 included in both 2005-06 and
2008-09 (48 schools), 30 had no change, seven
decreased the number of courses offered, and
11 increased course offerings about Israel.
The small increase is probably attributable to
constraints of size. Liberal arts colleges have
smaller undergraduate populations and fewer
faculty members to draw from.
The 2006 report also listed Ivy League and
Big Ten schools and the number of Israelfocused courses they offered that year. These
numbers can be compared to the numbers in
2008-09 (Table 2). The Ivy League schools
increased Israel-focused offerings almost
across the board. The only exception was
Brown University which offered seven
courses in 2005-06 and again offered seven in
2008-09. The Big Ten schools also increased
Israel-focused course offerings overall, but the
results were more disparate. The University of
Michigan decreased its offerings from 10
courses to five (although two courses in 2006
may have been double counted or may have
been two sections of the same course). All
eleven Big Ten schools offered Israel-focused
courses in 2008-09, up from eight in 2005-06.

Implications This report and directory reveal a considerable
increase in the number of courses specifically
focused on Israel. The numbers and patterns
of such course offerings should be followed
into the future to see whether the increase
continues. Schools have different “lag times”
for the introduction of new courses, and the
presence of Israel in the media from one year
to the next can contribute to the number of
course offerings. Future research should also
track the broadening scope of Israel-content
courses beyond the conflict to areas of Israeli
culture and society.
Most salient for foundation and community
policy making, this research suggests that it is
possible to increase the number and breadth
of courses about Israel on campus. That a
number of large schools, and schools that are
prestigious or have large Jewish populations,
still have no Israel-focused courses in their
curriculum, represents an opportunity for
both the AICE VIP and SIIS programs to
expand their reach and create synergies in
their work. (Appendix C).
Also relevant for policy making is the evident
interest in teaching and learning about Israel
within a variety of departments and disciplines
in many different types of schools. The
challenge of 2005-06—to increase the capacity
to teach about Israel by seeding visiting Israeli
professor positions and developing staff who
might otherwise not have been able to teach
the subject—remains paramount, but the
challenge going forward may lie in increasing
the capacity to teach effectively, and this will
require a much more complex piece of
research. Over 1400 Israel-content courses
were taught in the 316 school sample in 200809, but these numbers provide no information
about the teaching ability of the instructors or
the breadth and depth of individual courses.
Such an assessment would require a large
qualitative component— sampling syllabi and
talking to students about their experiences and
the knowledge they have gained. In Search of
Israel Studies has become the search for the
study of Israel. Now the research needs to
assess the extent to which these courses are
grounded in serious scholarship. A sample of
the faculty teaching the courses listed in this
directory could be interviewed to discover
how they approach their topics and the
assistance they might need to develop their
syllabi. Perhaps department chairs and
university administrators, including but not
limited to Jewish Studies chairs, could be
surveyed about their awareness of the courses
offered on campus and their knowledge of
their content.
These questions about the content and quality
of courses on Israel are vitally important for
the teaching of Israel in the academy—to
assure that students are exposed to the finest
standards of scholarship and the greatest
depth of analysis.

Notes ¹Some of the Middle East Studies courses and modern Jewish history courses may deal only very tangentially
with Israel, but for our purpose here, we assume that all include some content about Israel or at least include
topics relevant to Israel and represent an interest that could be expanded to include Israel. More study is
required to learn more about how these courses are taught and the extent to which they discuss Israel.

5 The
US News and World Report rankings are controversial partly because they overemphasize selective
admissions data like low acceptance rates and high SAT scores for incoming freshmen and pay less attention
to the education students receive once they get on campus. Still, we believe that the reputation rating (at the
heart of the rankings) is the best available means to categorize the schools we are discussing here.
6 According
to a search of colleges and universities on the College Boards website,
(http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/index.jsp), small schools with fewer than 2000 students
represent over half of the four-year institutions of higher learning in the country. Large schools with 15,000
students or more represent just 6%.
7 It is also possible that the increase in Israel courses may be part of an overall increase in course offerings
over the three-year period, but we have no data on a change in total course offerings. We consider it unlikely
that colleges and universities would have increased all course offerings by 66% over the three-year period
when the number of faculty positions has been relatively flat.

Appendix A: Methodology School Selection Criteria
The 2006 report contained 386 schools
selected from around the United States. It
included the top 120 U.S. News and World
Report’s universities and colleges and those
which had ICC member organizations at the
time. It included junior colleges, art schools,
and music conservatories; public, private and
sectarian institutions; universities with large
Jewish populations (as counted by Hillel) and
some with none.
CMJS began the process of this study by
defining its own purposive sample of schools
(Table A-1). CLSFF reviewed the original list
and requested that another 26 schools be
added. Of the 316 schools in the 2008-09
study, 246 were included in the 2006 study.
All comparisons between the two studies rely
on those 246 institutions.
Courses Search
The 2005-06 research team searched online
course listings and/or course catalogs. Course
catalogs often include all courses in the
university curriculum, while listings contain
only those offered during specific time
periods. The CMJS research team selected
only undergraduate courses included in course
listings for the fall, spring, and summer of the
2008-09 academic year. If a school did not
have online course listings or did not allow
outside access, the research team contacted
the registrar’s office and obtained a list and a
catalog. Catalogs were used to obtain more
information on courses that could be
documented as having been offered during
the 2008-09 calendar year. Israel-related or
Israel-focused courses in the catalog that were
not listed in 2008-09 course listings are not
included in the directory. At some universities,
newly introduced courses or one-time
offerings are titled as special topics. Some of
these courses may concern Israel but cannot
be identified as such without further research.
The Summer Institute for Israel Studies, the
AICE Visiting Israeli Professors program, and
the Jewish Studies Project of the Jewish
United Fund/Jewish Federation of
Metropolitan Chicago help sponsor courses
related to Israel at various colleges and
university, and those courses have been
included. However, other special topic
courses focusing on Israel may have been
overlooked and inadvertently omitted from
the directory.

The entry for each school was created by a
researcher and then checked by another
researcher later in the year.
All courses were categorized by department in
which they were offered. While the directory
listings include departments in which the
course was cross-listed, the count of courses
by departments uses only the home
department. The courses were further
categorized as Israel-focused or not.
This categorization was reviewed by a second
member of the research team. Care was taken
to be as conservative as possible in classifying
a course as Israel-focused. Courses on
modern Jewish history or literature,
contemporary Middle East politics, and
International relations in the Middle East were
excluded and listed only as Israel-related.
Entries were collected in Access forms, and
exported from Access data tables to Excel for
merging into the directory. SPSS was used for
data analysis.
