Jewish Studies (BA/BS)

About this programme

The interdisciplinary minor in Jewish Studies allows students to engage with themes of enduring human significance, such as faith and reason, religion and ethnic identity, cultural stability and change, and migration and diaspora, in Jewish and comparative perspectives. Courses explore Jewish sacred texts and traditions, literature and thought, history, politics, and cultures across time and space. The minor contributes to the professional formation of students interested in education, law, international relations, the health professions, journalism, and community leadership. Scholarships and financial support for study abroad in Israel are available for students minoring in Jewish Studies.
