The UNT Jewish Studies Program is the only Jewish studies program at a public university in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. UNT is the largest university in the North Texas region, with more than 34,000 students and more Jewish students than all other Dallas-Fort Worth universities combined.

The Jewish Studies Program includes forty-four courses (ten on the State of Israel) on Jews and Judaism across five of UNT’s colleges, twenty-five faculty, six scholarship programs, and six speakers brought to campus each year, primarily from Israel.
