Hebrew Theological College was founded in 1922 by Rabbi Dr. Bernard Revel and a group of visionary Chicago rabbis. Located on the north side of Chicago, the college began as a four-year rabbinical school that offered courses in Jewish studies, Hebrew language, and Talmud. Its mission was to provide a modern Jewish education to the growing Jewish population in the city of Chicago. By 1928, the college had expanded its scope to include an additional two years of postgraduate work for those seeking advanced rabbinic ordination.
In 1932, the college opened its doors to women for the first time and began offering classes in Biblical studies, philosophy, and ethics. During this period, HTC also established a library with over 10,000 volumes dedicated to Jewish texts and history. In 1947, it expanded once again by adding a department of social sciences and an honors program for students interested in pursuing higher academic achievements. During this time, HTC also established an affiliation with Northwestern University which allowed students to combine their studies at both institutions for dual degrees in Judaic Studies and Psychology or Sociology. Over the years, Hebrew Theological College has continued to expand its curriculum by offering courses in business administration as well as master’s degrees in Jewish education and communal service leadership. Today HTC is one of only three institutions nationwide dedicated solely to providing quality higher education within the framework of Judaic studies and values.
