Program Overview

As Jews have spread across the world over the last two millennia, they have influenced and been influenced by the cultures in which they have resided. So the study of Jewish culture, society, history, and religion is, by its nature, comparative. Within the liberal arts, the Jewish Studies curriculum is related to many different areas.

The purpose of the program is to familiarize students with the different facets of the Jewish civilization and to see how these facets relate to the larger world. In completing the certificate, students will have a competence in a number of areas of Jewish Studies. The certificate provides students with an opportunity to learn more about this new and growing field of scholarship. It may also help prepare students for careers in education and/or advanced graduate study.

The Certificate in Jewish Studies reflects the core goals of the College of Arts and Science's mission to educate undergraduate students in the accumulated knowledge of humankind, fostering critical thought, and providing an outstanding liberal arts education and keen appreciation of the interrelatedness of humanity in all its diversity.
