As the first state-accredited Ph.D. program of its kind, Dropsie College is the world's founding institution of modern academic Jewish Studies. In the course of its nearly eighty years of existence, from 1907 through 1986, the College awarded more than 200 doctoral degrees and became a major training center for the country's Judaic scholars. It was the publisher of the Jewish Quarterly Review, the oldest continuously published English-language journal of Jewish Studies.
