Jewish Studies Minor
The interdisciplinary minor in Jewish Studies provides an introduction to the study of Jewish culture, thought, history, and literature, primarily in the modern period. Students learn a broad range of methodologies and critical concepts in these areas and gain insight into the relation between Jewish identities, histories, and representations and those of the cultures in which Jews throughout the world find themselves.

The Program in Jewish Studies will be of special interest to students in History, Religious Studies, Comparative Literature and Sociology as well as other fields in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
