NEW CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROGRAM IN JUDAIC STUDIES

This year the Dean of the College approved our proposal to revise the certificate program requirements to better meet the needs of our students. Students will now have two options for obtaining their certificate:

(1) take a minimum of five courses in Judaic studies, which must include JDS 202 “Great Books of the Jewish Tradition” and at least one course from the pre-modern period or

(2) three courses to include JDS 202 “Great Books of the Jewish Tradition” and one course from the pre-modern period plus write a senior thesis that draws significantly on some aspect of Judaic studies.

Program of Study
