The Major
Loading...
The following requirements must be fulfilled:
1. JUDAIC 101 and 102 The Jewish People I and II
2. Three years of Hebrew. Students may take Hebrew courses in a combination of language (modern and/or biblical), literature, or linguistics. However, a first-year or second-year sequence in Modern Hebrew or in Biblical Hebrew followed by its Biblical Hebrew or Modern Hebrew counterpart at the same level does not constitute an additional year in the three-year language requirement (see course listings).
3. Six 3-or-4 credit upper-division Judaic Studies courses (at or above the 300 level), with at least three in a field of concentration, determined in consultation with the Chief Undergraduate Adviser. Areas such as Bible, literature, or a particular period of history would be appropriate (see course listings).
4. The Junior Year Writing requirement: two credits of the Junior Year Writing practicum course (JUDAIC 398W), to be taken in conjunction with an upper-level Judaic Studies course designated as “Writing-intensive.”
5. An Honors option is available for qualified students in many courses.
6. No courses taken on a pass/fail basis can be counted toward the major.
7. The gpa in courses comprising the major must be 2.00 or higher.
Hebrew Language
Students can fulfill the university language requirement with either modern or biblical Hebrew (see course listings).
