Jewish Studies Learning Outcomes

Students who successfully complete a minor in Jewish Studies should be able to:

• Discuss the history, texts, beliefs, and practices of the Jewish people;
• Explain the historical development of the Jewish people in various time periods and places;
• Analyze the intersections between Jews and the major political, social, and cultural developments that influenced their life and development;
• Analyze multiple sources of information (e.g., historical, literary, religious) that describe and seek to construct the Jewish experience.

The Jewish Studies Minor

The minor requires 20 credits and a GPA of at least 2.0 in the minor. Courses not on the list, such as those taken during study abroad, may be counted toward the minor with prior approval of the minor coordinators. At least two courses in the minor must be at the 300 level or above.
