The Jewish Studies minor is 15 credit hours. Students must take Introduction to Judaism (3 credits) or a related course. The remaining 12 credits should be courses at the 3000-level or above. Students must complete a minimum of six credits of coursework exclusive to the minor that cannot count toward the major(s) or other minors.

Students must work with the undergraduate adviser to design a minor curriculum that will give a sampling of the Jewish experience across time and across disciplines.
