7 Searching for the Study of Israel Executive Summary This report and directory finds the state of education about Israel greatly improved since the original study in The data suggest that many more opportunities to study Israel on college campuses are available now as compared to three years ago. More colleges and universities offer courses focused on Israel, and those that offered courses in are offering a greater number of courses today. More than that, the study finds a normalization of Israel study within the university curriculum. From course titles and descriptions, we see a move toward viewing Israel as a culture, society, political system, and historical entity rather than solely as a locus for international conflict. Although many decry a perceived anti-israel sentiment on campus, education rather than demonstration is the core mission of the university, and in that arena, we see an impressive increase in the study of Israel. The directory includes 316 four-year colleges and universities: top-ranked national universities and liberal arts colleges, state universities, and schools with large Jewish populations. The list also includes secular, Christian, and Jewish sectarian institutions. Although the directory draws heavily from areas with large Jewish populations, it represents all parts of the country and includes schools with very few or no Jewish students. In contrast with the 2006 study, this directory extends beyond courses specifically focused on Israel to include those that address modern Israel in other less central but nonetheless substantive ways, for example, courses on the politics of the Middle East or modern Jewish history. The directory includes those that specifically focus on Israel and those that include Israel as a unit or important element in their syllabi.¹ Courses specifically focused on Israel have been counted separately for comparison purposes. We distinguish courses in the directory and in this report as: Israel-focused courses devoting almost all of their content to Israel Israel-related those that deal with Israel less centrally Israel-content the total of Israelfocused and Israel-related courses, those that can be said to contain any information about modern Israel An analysis of the directory led to several specific and important findings: Compared to There has been a dramatic 69% increase in the number of Israelfocused courses. The 246 institutions included in both studies increased Israel-focused courses from 325 in 2006 to 548 in Of the top 20 national universities in U.S. News and World Report rankings in , all but one offered Israelfocused courses in and 12, more than half, offered four or more. In 2006 five offered no Israel-focused courses, and only three offered four or more

8 2 Searching for the Study of Israel Courses in % of the 316 schools in the directory offer at least one Israelrelated course, and 58% offer at least one Israel-focused course Almost half of the schools (48%) offered four or more Israel-content courses, and 17% offered four or more courses specifically focused on Israel A total of 1401 courses with Israelcontent were offered by the 316 schools, with 579 specifically focused on Israel Factors related to the number of Israel-content courses Schools with large undergraduate populations, and those with a high percentage of Jewish students, typically offered more courses about Israel, but schools with small undergraduate populations and small percentages of Jewish students also offered courses with Israel content The top-ranked schools, as designated by U.S. News and World Report, typically offered more Israel-related and Israelfocused courses than those with lower ranking A broad base of Israel courses A variety of departments offered courses about Israel in The majority of Israel-content courses came from history and political science, not from Jewish or Middle East Studies, and most courses went well beyond the Arab-Israeli conflict. This suggests a normalization of Israel as a subject within established disciplines The study s authors hope these findings and others in this report will serve as a guide to understanding the state of Israel education and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

9 Searching for the Study of Israel Introduction In 2006, the Israel on Campus Coalition (ICC), in partnership with the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation (CLSFF), Hillel: the Foundation for Campus life, and a network of national organizations committed to promoting Israel education and advocacy on campus, compiled a directory of opportunities to study about Israel on campuses across the United States. Interest in the topic was spurred by concern that academic scholarship and the information flow about Israel had been scarce. Students on most campuses, the ICC believed, had little opportunity to learn about Israel, a country much in the news and subject of extensive debate. The ICC also believed that much of the teaching that was available was biased and ill-informed and largely originated from hostile groups on campus aiming to delegitimize the Jewish state (In Search of Israel Studies, 2006). In that study, researchers for the ICC searched online course listings and catalogs in order to document the Israelfocused course offerings of approximately 400 colleges and universities in North America. The report found that 53% of these institutions offered no Israel Studies courses and that most of the remainder offered no more than one. Nine universities had Israel Studies centers, but very few other institutions offered more than minimal substantive teaching about Israel. In the same year, the American Israeli Cooperative Enterprise (AICE), with funding from CLSFF, undertook an ambitious program to help address these concerns.² AICE and CLSFF designed a program to seed Israel Studies on college and university campuses across the United States by providing the campuses with visiting Israeli professors (VIPs) who could teach balanced and academically rigorous courses about Israel. The VIPs, senior scholars from a variety of fields, come to their host campuses to teach four courses a year (at least two of these courses specifically focused on Israel). CLSFF, along with several other individuals and foundations, provides 50% of the salary requirements for up to two years a period they consider adequate to stimulate interest in the subject and prove the attractiveness of the topic to university decision-makers. AICE and its funders hope that by the end of the appointment, the host university will have developed internal sources to fund permanent appointments or ongoing visiting positions in Israel Studies. Through , a total of 52 VIPs at 40 universities offered almost 200 Israel-related courses on campus. In alone, 26 VIPs are teaching on 26 campuses. In addition to teaching courses, VIPs provide on- and off-campus lectures and participate in panel discussions and conferences. They consult with students, appear in the media, and serve as a presence for Israel and its scholarship on campus. A second element of the AICE program the Schusterman Israel Scholars Awards (SISA) provides graduate fellows with $15,000 per year stipends to pursue Israel Studies. The belief underlying the program is that the demand for Israel-related courses on campus created by the VIPs will facilitate the creation of tenure-track positions for the SISA fellows. To date, three former fellows have tenure track positions in the academy, and two other

10 4 Searching for the Study of Israel former fellows have temporary teaching positions as well. In 2004, Brandeis University s Summer Institute for Israel Studies (SIIS), also made possible through funding from CLSFF and others,³ initiated an effort to create capacity for teaching about Israel from within existing college and university faculties. Targeting institutions globally (in Brazil, China, Great Britain, Turkey, and Australia, as well as the United States and Canada), SIIS provides a two-week, fully-funded seminar on all aspects of Israeli society, culture, politics, and history taught by senior academics from Israel and elsewhere. This intensive program is followed by a ten-day study tour of Israel during which SIIS fellows meet with Israeli political and cultural leaders in a variety of settings. Following the seminar and the study tour, SIIS provides the fellows with online resources and workshops to enrich their understanding of Israel. Since their participation in the program, SIIS fellows, coming from over 100 different institutions, have offered more than 150 courses about Israel. A third program designed to seed Israel Studies on university campuses, the Israel Studies Project of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago, has enabled the appointment of Israeli visiting scholars at Chicago area universities. Since 2005, the program has helped to expand education about Israel at Northwestern University; University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; University of Chicago; and University of Illinois, Chicago. CLSFF, which together with other donors funds both the AICE program and SIIS, asked the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University (CMJS) to revisit the ICC directory, In Search of Israel Studies, and update it with data from The CMJS research team developed a list of over 300 colleges and universities most, but not all, overlapping with the 2006 study (see Appendix A, Methodology) and has included in its listing: Israel-focused courses such as History of Modern Israel, and Film, Fiction, and the Construction of Identity Israeli and Palestinian Voices Israel-related courses defined broadly (those with Israel in their course descriptions but not the principal focus of the course), e.g., Culture & Society of the Middle East and North Africa, and Modern Judaism This report uses the term Israel-content courses to refer to the combination of Israelrelated and Israel-focused courses. The research explores changes in the landscape of Israel Studies since 2006 and provides a point of comparison for future studies. The report is presented as a directory so that users can find schools and identify areas of strength and weakness. Funders have given generously to the task of making academically sound education about Israel available in colleges and universities in the United States. The following study documents, in one way, the extent of their success. 4

11 Searching for the Study of Israel Discussion of Findings Sample Characteristics The directory lists Israel-content course offerings at 316 colleges and universities across the United States. The sample was designed to represent a variety of institutions of higher learning, with heavier weight given to leading research universities and highly ranked liberal arts colleges. All toptier national universities and liberal arts colleges based on U.S. News and World Report rankings are included in the directory. 5 Fouryear institutions with large Jewish undergraduate populations (20% or more of their undergraduate enrollment) based on estimates from Hillel are also included, as are public, private non-sectarian, Christian, and Jewish institutions from all regions of the United States. Regional Distribution The distribution of institutions by region is roughly proportional to the distribution of all institutions of higher learning with a heavier representation of the East Coast. Colleges and universities in New England and the Middle Atlantic account for over a third (37%) of all schools in the sample. The directory drew slightly more heavily from these regions because they are home to the greatest concentrations of Jews and institutions with large Jewish populations. The Midwest is somewhat underrepresented. Figure 1 illustrates the sampling by region, comparing the distribution of four-year institutions in the College Board College Search website ( collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/ index.jsp) to those listed in this directory.

12 6 Searching for the Study of Israel Size and Jewish Populations The directory includes a range of schools by size and affiliation. Figure 2 shows that almost half the schools (48%) have fewer than 5000 undergraduates. Institutions with 20,000 or more undergraduates comprise 19% of the sample. This distribution does not reflect the overall distribution of colleges and universities by size 6 but, rather, those institutions with larger Jewish populations and higher rankings in U.S. News and World Report. Most, but not all, institutions in the sample had significant Jewish populations according to the Hillel website (Figure 3). Jewish students comprise more than 11% of undergraduate enrollment at more than a quarter of the schools. Four institutions have mostly or completely Jewish enrollments: Yeshiva University, the Jewish Theological Seminary, Touro College, and American Jewish University. Schools classified as unknown have no count available (18%) and are assumed to have only a few or no Jewish students. Figure 3 shows the distribution of schools by size of Jewish population. The schools with the largest absolute number of Jewish undergraduates have between 1000 and Figure 2: Directory of Colleges and Universities: Size of Undergraduate Population < % 20, % 2,000-4,999 28% 10,000-19,999 17% 5,000-9,999 16% Figure 3: Distribution of Colleges and Universities: Percentage of Jewish Undergraduates >0-4% 23% None or unknown 18% >20% 11% 5-10% 32% 11-20% 16%

13 Searching for the Study of Israel The colleges and universities in the directory represent over three million undergraduates including over 250,000 Jewish undergraduates. The vast majority of colleges and universities included in the directory are secular institutions: 124 public and 134 private institutions account for 82% of the directory s institutions. These secular universities and colleges comprise an even greater majority of the undergraduate population (92%). Israel Course Offerings The directory lists all courses which address Israel, Israeli culture, politics, or society as the whole content or any part of their subject area (Israel-content courses). These courses can be divided into those that are specifically about Israel (Israel-focused courses), and those that deal with Israel more tangentially (Israelrelated courses). The 316 schools in the directory offered 1401 Israel-content courses in Of those, 579 were Israel-focused and 822 were Israelrelated. Issues in Israeli Politics, a course offered in the history department at Stony Brook University, The Arab-Israeli Conflict, offered by the government department at Dartmouth College, and Mizrahi Music and the Construction of Israeli National Culture, offered by Middle Eastern Studies at UC Berkeley are examples of Israel-focused courses. The Middle East in World Affairs Since 1945 (offered at Lehigh University) is categorized as Israel-related rather than Israel-focused even through its description states it devotes one half to two-thirds of the semester to the Arab- Israeli conflict. Modern Jewry: Upheaval and Response at Kalamazoo College is considered Israel-related as is Conflict and Peacemaking in the Middle East. Boston College provides an example of how the study classifies Israel-content courses. The college offered three Israel-focused courses in : Israelis & Palestinians: Two Peoples, Three Faiths (Theology), Social Justice in Israel/ Palestine (Sociology), and History and Historiography of the Arab-Israeli Conflict (History). The college also offered three courses we consider Israel-related: Language, Memory, and Identity in the Middle East (Sociology), Modern Middle Eastern and Arabic Literature (Slavic Studies & Linguistics), and Middle East on Film: Anthropological Perspectives (Sociology). In most cases, course descriptions do not allow for an assessment of the proportion of the content concerning Israel and, in some cases, course descriptions were not available. We do assume, however, based on many accessed course descriptions, that the presence of courses about the modern Middle East represents interest in the culture, society, and politics of the region of which Israel is part, that faculty members have knowledge and the desire to teach such courses, and that students enroll because they find the topics interesting or relevant to their fields of study. Likewise, we assume that Israel is part of any course on modern Jewish history or culture.

14 8 Searching for the Study of Israel Courses about Israel in Of the 316 schools in the directory, 12 have Israel Studies programs and 17 have chairs (although they may not all be filled), but most (62%) offer three or more Israel-content courses. Figure 4 shows that almost half (49%) offered four or more Israel-content courses, and only 10% had no such courses at all. Over half the schools in the directory (58%) offered at least one course specifically focused on Israel, and 17% (54 schools) offered four or more. Not surprisingly, the size of the institution the number of undergraduates appears to be related to the number of Israel-content courses offered (Figure 5). Of the colleges and universities with fewer than 2000 undergraduates, only 19% offered four or more courses with Israel content. Of the medium-sized schools with undergraduates, 75% offered four or more courses. The largest schools, those with 10,000 or more undergraduates, have a somewhat smaller but still large percentage of schools offering four or more courses (59%). Some small schools do offer a variety of Israel-content courses. For example, Haverford College, Drew University, Bryn Mawr, Goucher, Amherst, and Claremont McKenna all offer six or more courses with some Israel content, and all but one of these (Drew University) offer at least one course specifically focused on Israel. On the other hand, there are 38 large schools those with 15,000 or more undergraduates that offer six or more courses about Israel, and all but four of those offer at least three courses that focus specifically on Israel. Figure 4: Number of Courses Offered Percentage of Schools 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 6% 4% 11% 21% 22% 9% 11% 19% 27% 22% 25% 13% 16% 42% 19% 13% 12% 10% Israel-focused Israel-related only All Israel-content courses Number of Courses

15 Searching for the Study of Israel The percentage and the absolute number of Jewish undergraduates also appear related to the number of courses with Israel content, and this holds true for Israel-related as well as Israel-focused courses. Schools with very few or an unknown number of Jewish students offer relatively few courses about Israel (Figures 6-7). Figure 5: Number of Israel-content Courses by Undergraduate Enrollment 100% 90% 80% 19% 36% 70% 60% 75% 59% 59% Number of Courses Percentage of Schools 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 66% 49% 16% 15% 20% 37% 36% 6% 4% 5% Less than 2000 (n=64) (n=89) (n=51) Undergraduate Enrollment 10,000-19,000 (n= 54) 20,000+ (n=58)

17 Searching for the Study of Israel Perhaps surprisingly, however, having a very small or unreported Jewish population does not mean the complete absence of Israelcontent or even Israel-focused courses. Almost a third of schools with no reported Jewish population offered one or more Israelfocused courses, although most of these offered only one. The following schools, for example, with enrollments under 2000 students and no identified Jewish population according to the Hillel website, offered courses specifically about Israel. Fairfield University, a small Jesuit college in Connecticut; the Citadel, an elite military college in South Carolina; and Gonzaga University, a Roman Catholic college in Washington State all offered courses on the Arab-Israeli conflict. Sweet Briar College, a women s college with 800 students, offered a course entitled Modern Israel, and Stonehill College, a Roman Catholic women s college outside of Boston, offered a course in Religious Studies entitled Hard Rockin Jews: Judaism and Pop Culture in Israel. Notably, both Sweet Briar and Stonehill colleges have fellows from SIIS on their faculty. School ranking also appears to be related to the number of Israel-content courses offered (Figure 8). Almost all of the top-ranked national universities (96% of those ranked 1-25 and 88% of those ranked 26-50) offered four or more Israel-content courses. The same relationship holds for liberal arts colleges, although the overall percentage of schools with four or more Israel-content courses is smaller.

18 12 Searching for the Study of Israel Departments Offering Israel Courses Most Israel-content courses were not offered in or Israel Studies programs but rather in traditional departments such as history or political science. Of the 1401 Israelcontent courses offered in , 28% were listed by a history department, and 25% by political science or international relations. Indeed many were offered by or Hebrew departments (22%) or religious studies departments (6%), but other departments (anthropology, comparative literature, and Middle East Studies, etc.) also offered courses about Israel (Figure 9). For example, Geography of the Middle East and Africa was offered in the Geography Department of the United States Air Force Academy. Of the Israel-focused courses, 40% originated in or Hebrew departments (Figure 9, first bar). Perhaps some of these can be thought of as heritage courses, but the majority (60%) of Israel-focused courses were offered by other departments. At Truman State University in Missouri, a course entitled Cultural Crossroads, offered as a Junior Interdisciplinary Seminar, included Jerusalem/Al Quds - An interdisciplinary approach to understanding the 4000-year-old city, a center of strife for much of its history, and essential to the political and religious aspirations of many groups with apparently conflicting goals. Northwestern University offers Modern Hebrew Literature in Translation in its Comparative Literature Department, and the University of Miami in Florida offers Music in Hebrew Culture in its Department of Musicology. The fact that 91% of all Israelrelated courses, and 60% of all Israel-focused courses, were offered by disciplines outside of specific area studies or heritage programs suggests not only a broader focus but a broader audience as well.

19 Searching for the Study of Israel Approximately 28% of the Israel-focused courses (slightly more than 11% of all Israelcontent courses) center on the Arab-Israeli conflict, i.e., over 150 have in their titles the word conflict, Arab-Israel(i), or Palestine or Palestinians in a contemporary context. But neither title nor course description allow for neat categorization. The Middle East in the 20th Century, a course offered by Wesleyan s history department surveys the history, culture, and religion of the contemporary Middle East. Emphasis is on the historical roots of current problems. These include the Arab-Israeli conflict, Westernization versus Islam, U.S. involvement in the region, and the Sunni-Shia divide within Islam. Likewise, the course description for Modern Israel: Culture and Identity at the University of Delaware includes the conflict as a topic among other elements of Israeli society, but would not be categorized as a course on the conflict: Many factors contribute to a diverse and intriguing Israeli society. Topics include the roots of Zionism, the concept of the Israeli Sabra, the effects of the Holocaust, ethnic groups and the Arab-Israeli conflict through history, film, literature and music. Hebrew and Arabic Language Instruction More than half of the schools in the directory (51%) offer Hebrew and Arabic language instruction; another 16% offer only Arabic, and 10% offer only Hebrew (Figure 10). Schools that offer these languages of Israel are more likely to offer additional courses about Israel (Figure 11-12).

21 Searching for the Study of Israel Although the directory notes very few universities with Israel Studies programs, there exists a relatively wide variety of colleges and universities with opportunities to study about Israel. Research conducted separately (Koren & Einhorn, 2010) suggests that demand for courses about Israel is strong. Department chairs at most of the colleges and universities with Schusterman and other AICE visiting Israeli professors described fully-enrolled Israel-related courses and substantial student interest not only in courses centered on the conflict, but those about Israeli culture and internal politics as well. More research needs to be done, however, before the observations of these department chairs can be generalized to the larger number of institutions in this directory. Comparison of and Course Listings The directory contains information on 316 institutions, 246 of which overlap with the 2006 directory. The strongest finding from a comparison of the two is the significantly greater number of schools in than in It is possible that the 2006 directory likely overestimated the number of Israelfocused courses because the directory drew from both course listings and course catalogs. The latter usually contain all courses taught as part of the regular curriculum regardless of the year. The report s estimate for Israel-focused courses is necessarily conservative in order to best compare to 2006; the authors classify as Israel-focused only courses with Israel in the title, an obvious Israel concentration in the course description, or those dealing with modern Hebrew literature and culture. Because the 2006 directory included only Israel-focused courses, the discussion which follows is restricted to such courses. 7 Israel-Focused Courses In , 325 courses were offered in the 246 institutions included in both directories; in , 548 courses were offered a 69% increase (Figure 13). We do not have direct evidence about the reasons for this dramatic expansion in course offerings, but two possibilities are that (a) faculty are responding to increased interest in the study of Israel among students, in particular the more than 100,000 students who have participated in Taglit-Birthright Israel (Saxe & Chazan, 2008), Figure 13: Number of Israel-focused Courses and Number of Courses

22 16 Searching for the Study of Israel and (b) an increase in philanthropic support for visiting professors, new faculty positions, and development of existing faculty (SIIS). Of the colleges and universities included in both directories, 99 (40%) offered no Israelfocused courses in ; 84 (34%) offered no such courses in In , 24 institutions (10%) offered four or more Israelfocused courses; in , 54 institutions (22%) offered four or more Israel-focused courses a 125% increase over (Figure 14). Efforts to increase the availability of Israel courses on campus are not diffused equally around the academy. Some institutions (15%) actually offered fewer courses in than in and 104 (42%) remained the same. The remaining 41%, however, increased course offerings specifically about Israel (Figure 15) with 15% (38 institutions) increasing offerings by three or more courses (Appendix B, Table B-1).

23 Searching for the Study of Israel Top-Ranked Schools The 2006 directory listed the number of Israel-focused courses for the U.S. News and World Report top 20 schools and the Ivy League. In , four of the current top 20 U.S. News and World Report national universities offered four or more courses specifically focused on Israel. In , 12 of the top 20 national universities more than half offered four or more courses (Table 1). The top liberal arts colleges experienced a less noticeable increase in Israel-focused courses. Of the top 100 included in both and (48 schools), 30 had no change, seven decreased the number of courses offered, and 11 increased course offerings about Israel. The small increase is probably attributable to constraints of size. Liberal arts colleges have smaller undergraduate populations and fewer faculty members to draw from. The 2006 report also listed Ivy League and Big Ten schools and the number of Israelfocused courses they offered that year. These numbers can be compared to the numbers in (Table 2). The Ivy League schools increased Israel-focused offerings almost across the board. The only exception was Brown University which offered seven courses in and again offered seven in The Big Ten schools also increased Israel-focused course offerings overall, but the results were more disparate. The University of Michigan decreased its offerings from 10 courses to five (although two courses in 2006 may have been double counted or may have been two sections of the same course).

25 Searching for the Study of Israel Implications This report and directory reveal a considerable increase in the number of courses specifically focused on Israel. The numbers and patterns of such course offerings should be followed into the future to see whether the increase continues. Schools have different lag times for the introduction of new courses, and the presence of Israel in the media from one year to the next can contribute to the number of course offerings. Future research should also track the broadening scope of Israel-content courses beyond the conflict to areas of Israeli culture and society. Most salient for foundation and community policy making, this research suggests that it is possible to increase the number and breadth of courses about Israel on campus. That a number of large schools, and schools that are prestigious or have large Jewish populations, still have no Israel-focused courses in their curriculum, represents an opportunity for both the AICE VIP and SIIS programs to expand their reach and create synergies in their work. (Appendix C). Also relevant for policy making is the evident interest in teaching and learning about Israel within a variety of departments and disciplines in many different types of schools. The challenge of to increase the capacity to teach about Israel by seeding visiting Israeli professor positions and developing staff who might otherwise not have been able to teach the subject remains paramount, but the challenge going forward may lie in increasing the capacity to teach effectively, and this will require a much more complex piece of research. Over 1400 Israel-content courses were taught in the 316 school sample in , but these numbers provide no information about the teaching ability of the instructors or the breadth and depth of individual courses. Such an assessment would require a large qualitative component sampling syllabi and talking to students about their experiences and the knowledge they have gained. In Search of Israel Studies has become the search for the study of Israel. Now the research needs to assess the extent to which these courses are grounded in serious scholarship. A sample of the faculty teaching the courses listed in this directory could be interviewed to discover how they approach their topics and the assistance they might need to develop their syllabi. Perhaps department chairs and university administrators, including but not limited to chairs, could be surveyed about their awareness of the courses offered on campus and their knowledge of their content. These questions about the content and quality of courses on Israel are vitally important for the teaching of Israel in the academy to assure that students are exposed to the finest standards of scholarship and the greatest depth of analysis.

27 Searching for the Study of Israel Notes ¹Some of the Middle East Studies courses and modern Jewish history courses may deal only very tangentially with Israel, but for our purpose here, we assume that all include some content about Israel or at least include topics relevant to Israel and represent an interest that could be expanded to include Israel. More study is required to learn more about how these courses are taught and the extent to which they discuss Israel. ²The AICE Israel Scholar Development Fund has been made possible through a major grant from the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation and support from the Ben and Esther Rosenbloom Foundation; the Joseph and Harvey Meyerhoff Family Charitable Funds; the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund; the Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Fund; the Feldman Foundation; the Endowment Fund of the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington; the Alan B.

Building Capacity from Within: The Summer Institute for Israel Studies. 5 The US News and World Report rankings are controversial partly because they overemphasize selective admissions data like low acceptance rates and high SAT scores for incoming freshmen and pay less attention to the education students receive once they get on campus. Still, we believe that the reputation rating (at the heart of the rankings) is the best available means to categorize the schools we are discussing here. 6 According to a search of colleges and universities on the College Boards website, ( small schools with fewer than 2000 students represent over half of the four-year institutions of higher learning in the country. Large schools with 15,000 students or more represent just 6%. 7 It is also possible that the increase in Israel courses may be part of an overall increase in course offerings over the three-year period, but we have no data on a change in total course offerings. We consider it unlikely that colleges and universities would have increased all course offerings by 66% over the three-year period when the number of faculty positions has been relatively flat.

31 Searching for the Study of Israel Appendix A: Methodology School Selection Criteria The 2006 report contained 386 schools selected from around the United States. It included the top 120 U.S. News and World Report s universities and colleges and those which had ICC member organizations at the time. It included junior colleges, art schools, and music conservatories; public, private and sectarian institutions; universities with large Jewish populations (as counted by Hillel) and some with none. CMJS began the process of this study by defining its own purposive sample of schools (Table A-1). CLSFF reviewed the original list and requested that another 26 schools be added. Of the 316 schools in the study, 246 were included in the 2006 study. All comparisons between the two studies rely on those 246 institutions. Courses Search The research team searched online course listings and/or course catalogs. Course catalogs often include all courses in the university curriculum, while listings contain only those offered during specific time periods. The CMJS research team selected only undergraduate courses included in course listings for the fall, spring, and summer of the academic year. If a school did not have online course listings or did not allow outside access, the research team contacted the registrar s office and obtained a list and a catalog. Catalogs were used to obtain more information on courses that could be documented as having been offered during the calendar year. Israel-related or Israel-focused courses in the catalog that were not listed in course listings are not included in the directory. At some universities, newly introduced courses or one-time offerings are titled as special topics. Some of these courses may concern Israel but cannot be identified as such without further research. The Summer Institute for Israel Studies, the AICE Visiting Israeli Professors program, and the Project of the Jewish United Fund/Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Chicago help sponsor courses related to Israel at various colleges and university, and those courses have been included. However, other special topic courses focusing on Israel may have been overlooked and inadvertently omitted from the directory.

Jewish institutions such as the Jewish Theological Seminary or Touro College are unranked. Canada was again excluded.

32 26 Searching for the Study of Israel The entry for each school was created by a researcher and then checked by another researcher later in the year. All courses were categorized by department in which they were offered. While the directory listings include departments in which the course was cross-listed, the count of courses by departments uses only the home department. The courses were further categorized as Israel-focused or not. This categorization was reviewed by a second member of the research team. Care was taken to be as conservative as possible in classifying a course as Israel-focused. Courses on modern Jewish history or literature, contemporary Middle East politics, and International relations in the Middle East were excluded and listed only as Israel-related. Entries were collected in Access forms, and exported from Access data tables to Excel for merging into the directory. SPSS was used for data analysis.
