Why choose Rowan's holocaust and genocide education program?
This program, the Certificate of Graduate Study (C.O.G.S.) in Holocaust and Genocide Education (H.G.E.), will be the first of its kind nationally.
It brings together deep content knowledge with a strong constructivist pedagogy in order to help students consider what Holocaust and Genocide Education might look like across diverse settings. This curriculum could potentially serve both teachers and professionals in public programming of historical topics.
This program will fill a much-needed gap in higher education. By helping educators have both a better grasp of Holocaust and genocide content, as well as a mastery of constructivist pedagogies, the C.O.G.S. in H.G.E. will break new ground. Additionally, this is an essential program, as New Jersey is one of eight states with a Holocaust and Genocide teaching mandate. NJ requires K-12 teachers to teach about the Holocaust and other genocides "at the earliest possible moment."
