BECOMING A JEWISH STUDIES MINOR​

The path into the Jewish Studies Minor begins by taking at least one Jewish Studies course and meeting with the Director of Jewish Studies to plan and declare your Minor. Students are assigned an advisor who guides them through course selection and related opportunities connected to the program.

MINOR REQUIREMEMENTS

The Jewish Studies Minor consists of 6 courses (18 credits total), including a minimum of 3 courses at the 3000 or above level.

A) One course each from the following three categories as approved by the minor advisor:​

• History and Society
