The Jewish Studies minor will offer a comprehensive program suited for students with wide-ranging interests, providing access to historical and cultural content with modern day significance. The minor will draw from a constituency of elements across the humanities and social sciences, especially cultural anthropology, history, linguistics, religion, sociology, philosophy, and comparative literature. Courses in various disciplines will prepare students to explore and evaluate the many intricacies and valences of Judaism, modern Israel, and Jewish history and culture, allowing students access to Jewish writings, arts, cultures, and traditions. The Jewish Studies minor will prepare graduates for careers in education, international relations, international business, public service, and other professions that require strong cultural competency.
