Concentration in Holocaust and Genocide Studies
The undergraduate concentration educates students about the history of the Holocaust and the Armenian and other genocides. Undergraduates are offered specialized courses to ensure a critical and analytical understanding of the context in which the Holocaust and genocides occurred. While emphasizing history, the undergraduate program encompasses literature, psychology, Jewish studies, geography, political science, sociology, and intercultural studies -- all strengths of Clark University and all essential to a complete understanding of this complex subject.
The Strassler Family Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies offers an internship program for undergraduates in conjunction with Holocaust museums and memorials across the country. The purpose of this program is to provide students the opportunity to bring knowledge they have gained in class to a public setting and, conversely, to learn how Holocaust museums and memorials educate a broad spectrum of visitors.

Students graduating with a bachelor's degree will have the competencies needed to fill teaching positions anywhere, including all of the states now requiring Holocaust education in public schools. More than 50 percent of American children live in states with mandated Holocaust education, yet their teachers have not been trained at the college level, an important need that is being met by the Center.
