Overview
The Jewish Studies minor is open to all UC Berkeley students and is designed to give students an overview of some of the major themes in Jewish Studies. Students may choose offerings from a large number of disciplines including arts and humanities, social sciences, and law. After completing an introductory survey course, participants in the minor may take classes, seminars, and language courses, engage in hands-on experiential learning at The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, and take relevant courses offered in over 20 departments and colleges across campus, including, but not limited to: American Studies; Comparative Literature; Development Practice; Dutch; Economics; Education; German; Geography; Hebrew; History; Jewish Studies; Legal Studies; Letters and Science; Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures; Music, Political Science; Rhetoric; Theater Dance, and Performance Studies; Slavic; Sociology; Spanish; and Yiddish. The program allows students to work closely with members of the faculty, to be mentored by graduate students, and to participate in the intellectual life of the broader Jewish Studies community on campus.
