Overview

If you think a lifetime of eating matzah balls and going to synagogue means you know it all, think again. The Jewish Studies major is everything you wanted to know about Jewish culture, history, language, literature, and then some. It鈥檚 thousands of years of history, religion, and language (maybe now you can figure out the etymology of 鈥渟chmuck鈥) all rolled into one intensive major.


As a Jewish Studies major you鈥檒l incorporate all of the traditional methods of study that accompany the humanities. In short, that means you鈥檙e going to be reading and writing a lot. You鈥檒l take classes in Hebrew and Yiddish, the Bible, history, and if you鈥檙e lucky and creative enough, you鈥檒l have the chance for some serious independent research that expands our knowledge and understanding of Jewish history and culture.


When you鈥檝e graduated, you鈥檒l have all the makings of a serious scholar (or at least a serious young scholar with a lot of potential). You鈥檒l have the benefits of a strong liberal arts background, which means that your skills at writing, researching, and communicating effectively can be applied to dozens of different fields.

HIGH SCHOOl PREPARATION

The best high school preparation for a major in Jewish Studies is a strong background in Jewish culture and history and experience with the Hebrew language. In the event that you can't take any of these at your school, though, a strong background in the humanities (especially English, history, and philosophy and/or theology) will help prepare you for the major as well.
