A Memorandum of Understanding was signed recently that integrates Baltimore Hebrew University’s programs into Towson University, effective July 1, 2009. A letter recently went out from Towson’s administration welcoming BHU students to the school. Under the merger, BHU will continue to offer a master’s degree in Jewish studies, a master’s in Jewish communal service and a master’s in Jewish education. The programs will be offered under a new entity called the Baltimore Hebrew Institute (BHI) at Towson University. They will fall under Towson’s graduate offerings at its College of Liberal Arts and College of Education.
