Judaic Studies - Franklin and Marshall College

Judaic Studies from Franklin and Marshall College is a Campus Bachelor Language degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Judaic Studies program is designed to introduce students to the religion, history and literature of the Jewish people and to their interactions with the other peoples among whom they have lived. In the Western world, Jewish thought has been foundational to our common culture, yet the experience of the Jewish people, like that of other excluded minorities, has often diverged profoundly from that of the majority. The study of Judaism and of the varieties of Jewish experience can thus be both a complement and a corrective, to any course of study examining the history and culture of Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and the Americas. The program for minors provides a comprehensive introduction to the religious, cultural and political traditions of Jewish life from its origins to present day. A major in Judaic Studies may be arranged through the Special Studies Program described in this catalog. A joint major consists of eight Judaic Studies courses in addition to designated courses from any department/program offering a major. At least two of the Judaic Studies courses must be Hebrew language. View more details on Franklin and Marshall College .
