BA in Judaic Studies (Honors) in Providence United States | Brown University

For thousands of years, Jews, their religion, their history, and their culture have been the subject of significant scholarly attention. We encourage you to make your own contribution to this tradition by doing original research on some aspect of Judaic Studies and writing an honors thesis. To do this, you will need to be a concentrator in JS with an outstanding record (A- average) in JS courses and you will be expected to write a full academic paper of some 35,000-55,000 words based on your own original work. As in all research, you will need to invest your time in planning, reading, thinking, and writing. Before you embark on the project, discuss it with the Concentration Adviser, to make sure that it is the right choice for you. Do this in your sixth semester. With the help of the C.A. identify a faculty member who will work with you as you write your thesis. Like everything else, research skills need to be learned, and your thesis director is there to help you learn them.
