Overview
Jewish Studies provides undergraduate students with a comprehensive view of the historical and intellectual development of Jewish life. The courses explore the thought, history, and cultures of Jews, in addition to examining Judaism as a living and dynamic religion. Since Jews have lived in various cultures, both historically and in the present, students will develop important interdisciplinary skills for examining both Jews and the larger cultures in which they have lived in the ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary worlds.
