Undergraduate
The Judaic Studies minor, or the Judaic Studies concentration as part of several majors, contributes to students’ liberal education. Many of the Judaic studies courses may be used to meet the elective requirements of various degree programs. Because the Judaic Studies program combines courses from several disciplines and departments, a concentration in Judaic Studies is useful for students majoring in or intending to pursue graduate studies in related disciplines, such as History, Literature, Philosophy, Religion, and Sociology.
Students who wish to specialize in Judaic Studies may choose from the following programs:
- BA minor in Judaic Studies
- Religious Studies major with concentration in Judaism
- English major with concentration in Judaic studies
- History major with concentration in Judaic studies
- Philosophy major with concentration in Judaic studies
