The Judaic Studies major gives students the opportunity to explore Jewish history, religion, literature, and culture across time and place. Working closely with an advisor, students design a program of study that reflects their interests and prepares them to think critically about Jewish experience in diverse historical and cultural contexts.
Through the major, students learn to analyze primary texts, understand key events and figures, compare Jewish experiences across different periods and regions, and develop thoughtful arguments about how Jewish religion and culture have evolved over time.
