Jewish Studies
The Jewish Studies program examines Jews and Judaism from the perspective of different fields in the humanities and social sciences. This approach has two objectives: first, to train students in understanding various aspects of Jewish culture and society; and second, to guide students in exploring these topics by means of different disciplines and methodologies, such as history, religious studies, language and linguistics, literature, theology, political science, and anthropology. The program offers an excellent avenue for any student interested in a broad liberal arts education emphasizing evidence-based research, critical analysis, and writing. In addition, the major also provides an excellent foundation for those students who would like to pursue graduate-level work in Jewish Studies, a profession in the Jewish community, or any career suited to a knowledge of different cultures, societies, and historical eras. In an increasingly multicultural society, exposure to the global historical Jewish experience prepares students to pursue an active and informed place in the world, whatever their chosen career or life path.
