The Minor in Jewish Studies is an interdisciplinary program seeking to introduce students to the many facets of Jewish cultures through the study of the history, philosophy, art, literature, languages, and social and political institutions of Jews from ancient to modern times.  Jewish Studies is a field that is marked by a high degree of interdisciplinarity, and is connected both temporally and geographically to a wide range of cultures.  The field studies a trans-regional/national culture, and connects fields of study that are usually examined separately.  The Minor complements existing areas of interest in a number of majors and disciplines, as well as new initiatives and programs, (ie. Religious Studies major, Global Studies and European Studies).
