Jewish Studies introduces students to Jewish culture, history, politics, and religion ... from the Bible to the present day; from bagels to Baghdad.
You’ll learn to see beyond stereotypes and clickbait, and will develop your skills in thinking about the complexities of life in a diverse society. You’ll improve your understanding of human rights, religious texts, questions of identity, connections across cultures, and the historical and structural bases of inequality.
Take a course or two — or complete the certificate, a terrific credential for a range of graduate programs and careers.
