The Doctor of Hebrew Letters / D.H.L. is open to very advanced, exceptional students only. The student will work primarily with a mentor, a senior member of the CYS College faculty, as well as in several tutorials (small group learning), directed readings and independent studies, will develop and teach a beginning-level course at CYS College under the direction of the Academic Dean, and will develop a doctoral project proposal, conduct original research, and present his or her findings to the College. The D.H.L. degree would typically take three years beyond the M.H.L. (or high order rabbinic ordination, such as yadin yadin semicha), or 108 clock hours minimum. All courses are taught at CYS College. It is assumed that applicants for the D.H.L. will have learned the equivalent of our M.H.L. program and courses.
