UNT's interdisciplinary Jewish Studies Program (JSP) began in the Fall 2000 semester and is housed in the Department of Philosophy and Religion. The Program Director is Dr. Asaf Angermann. The JSP is the only Jewish Studies program at a public university in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The program includes 50 courses on Jewish history, philosophy, religion, society, literature, film, music, the Hebrew Bible, mysticism, the Holocaust, and related topics, taught by 30 faculty across 10 departments. The JSP offers an undergraduate minor (18 hours) and a certificate (12 hours) in Jewish Studies and several scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students. The JSP sponsors lectures, events, and discussions throughout the year. The JSP's extensive collection of approximately 2,500 books and 350 films is housed in UNT's Willis Library collection.

The Jewish Studies Advisory Board supports the JSP's mission to promote teaching, learning, and research in Jewish Studies.
