JEWISH STUDIES

Jewish Studies developed alongside and within Western and non-Western civilization, in every place where Jewish people and Jewish culture have existed. The minor involves the study of the texts, histories, and culture of the Jewish people. As an academic discipline, Jewish Studies concentrates on its own inner continuities, as well as the ways it has affected, and been affected by, its host cultures.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MINOR IN JEWISH STUDIES
The interdisciplinary minor in Jewish Studies requires 15 credits of Jewish Studies courses (all of which are cross-listed with other departments, such as history or philosophy or English), including the following:
 

JWST/ENGL 349  Introduction to Jewish Sources

3

 

JWST/PHIL 208  Introduction to Jewish Philosophy

3

The remaining 9 credits may be distributed among the other Jewish Studies courses, including independent studies (per approval of the Program Director). Only 3 credits of Hebrew language can count towards the minor. For further information, contact Professor Sara R. Horowitz, Program Director, (302) 831-3324.
