The interdisciplinary Jewish Studies Certificate Program provides students with opportunities to explore the long history, rich
culture, diverse communities, and distinctive religious practices of this global minority group from ancient times to the present.

contemporary concern for Jews of the diaspora, including the United States, and in Israel.
Candidates for the Jewish Studies Certificate must complete a minimum of 12 units of approved coursework with a grade of C
