The Major in Jewish Studies is designed to help students develop the professional skills they need to become engaged global citizens, preparing them to obtain a job after graduation or pursue graduate studies. By studying the world through the lens of Jewish culture, history, literature, society, and thought from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective, our students gain fundamental critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Students pursuing a BA in Jewish Studies may choose one of the following two concentrations:

• Culture Intensive Concentration, in which students will pursue an in-depth study of Jewish culture.
• Foreign Language Intensive Concentration, in which students will obtain advanced language skills in addition to considerable knowledge of Jewish culture.
