Learning Outcomes

The Program in Jewish Studies expects that undergraduate majors concluding their course of study will be able to:

  • Demonstrate broad knowledge of Jewish history (ancient through contemporary), texts, and religion while specializing in a disciplinary approach to the study of Jews, Judaism, and Jewish cultures

  • Mobilize comparative frameworks for analyzing how race, ethnicity, and religion develop historically, cross-culturally, and transnationally with a focus on Jewish racialization

  • Understand, interpret, and utilize trans- and interdisciplinary theories and methods in the study of race, ethnicity, and religion as they pertain to Jews

  • Critically engage with primary and secondary sources and use both types of evidence in research and argumentation, including demonstrating the ability to engage with a Jewish language

  • Effectively communicate data, research, and arguments to diverse audiences

  • Apply a core inventory of theories, methods, and concepts to local and global contexts
