The Hebrew and Judaic Studies program offers students the opportunity to explore Jewish history and culture. The department features diverse courses taught by outstanding faculty across disciplines including Classics, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, and Comparative Literature. These courses examine Jewish civilization from ancient biblical eras to modern times through an interdisciplinary approach, helping students understand Jewish heritage within the broader framework of global cultures that have influenced Jewish communities throughout history.
Students can earn a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Judaic Studies through either Track A (General Judaic Studies) or Track B (Classical Judaic Studies).
While both tracks share fundamental similarities, they differ in focus and objectives. Each provides comprehensive grounding in Jewish civilization and introduces students to essential texts shaping Jewish thought, faith, and historical development. The general track offers a wider scope with particular attention to contemporary Jewish studies, requiring coursework spanning biblical, ancient/rabbinic, medieval, and modern periods. The classical track concentrates on pre-modern Jewish history, emphasizing biblical and rabbinic eras.
