The concentration in Jewish studies offers a course of study that treats Judaism as a historically evolving and culturally specific enterprise. The concentration explores Jewish culture, religion and heritage through literature, philosophy and history. A multi-disciplinary combination of courses permits critical reflection about topics and issues in a world civilization and cross-cultural context.
The concentration consists of at least 30 hours, distributed as follows: Complete JST 381: Judaism. In addition to JST 381, up to 27 credit hours must be completed from the courses listed in part A or B. A maximum of 9 credit hours for the major may be from part B. Up to 6 credit hours may be from the 200 level. At the discretion of the Director of Judaic Studies, other courses with sufficient Jewish content may be used to satisfy the major.
