It’s Official: Shalem Receives Accreditation from the Council of Higher Education
In a move that Shalem President Isaiah Gafni called “deeply gratifying, and a wonderful start to the new year,” the Government of the State of Israel announced this past week that it has ratified the Council for Higher Education’s July decision to recognize Shalem College as an accredited institution of higher education. This step enables Shalem to award its graduates a dual-major Bachelor of Arts in both its innovative Program in Humanistic Studies and either the Department of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies or the Department of Philosophy and Jewish Thought.
