Welcome
The Judaic Studies Program offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the religion, history, literatures, languages, social experience, and cultures of the Jewish people. Through a variety of lenses, the program conveys the complex interaction of forces that create and express Jewish cultural and religious identities. Students completing the program will gain knowledge of the field along with the tools necessary for continued study of Judaism and Jewish civilization in all its manifestations.
