Explore the interdisciplinary contexts of the Jewish religion, culture, and history.
The Jewish Studies Program offers classes across the curriculum, allowing students to explore the religious, literary, and political aspects of the Jewish historical experience. The faculty are actively engaged as scholars, authors, teachers, and lecturers. Each year, guest artists, writers, and scholars are invited to speak on a variety of topics of Jewish interest.
The Saperstein Jewish Center, in addition to being the home of Jewish religious and cultural life on campus, also hosts a number of Jewish Studies courses. The center houses a library of Jewish literature, music, and film as well as computer facilities. All students and faculty are encouraged to utilize these resources.
The program offers a minor in Jewish Studies.
