Nova Southeastern University has agreed to consider those who earned a semicha document as having earned a BA equivalency in education. There has been an interesting development in the official recognition of a semicha rabbinical ordination document, COLlive reprots.
For many years, universities would grant holders of semicha approximately 90 undergraduate credits.
Recently, Nova Southeastern University has been willing to consider those who earned a semicha document at an AARTS accredited yeshiva as having earned a BA equivalency in education.
This means that AARTS accredited semicha holders would be eligible to enroll in a MA program without needing to go through the hoops which have been required of others enrolling in an NSU Masters program through our partnership.
“This is not meant as official encouragement of the NSU Masters program for kollel yungeleit, only a recognition of the facts as they currently are,” stated some of those involved.
