Jewish Studies - Pennsylvania State University - Penn State Main Campus

Jewish Studies from Pennsylvania State University - Penn State Main Campus is a Campus Bachelor Language degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The Jewish Studies major addresses the culture, history, literature, philosophy, language, and religious beliefs of the Jewish people across the thousands of years from Biblical times to the present. All students in the major must complete Jewish Studies 010, an introduction to Jewish Civilization, and select from approved lists four courses that are concerned with Jewish studies across its chronological and geographical expanse. Students in the major select one of two options. The Culture and Language option is intended to provide the opportunity for an integrated course of study leading to a second baccalaureate major. This option is recommended for students planning further academic work in Jewish Studies or professional study in a related field. It requires study of Hebrew at the 400 level, and additional language study is encouraged. The Interdisciplinary option is for students who have enrolled in Jewish Studies as a secondary major. This option is recommended for students planning specialized careers within such fields as communications, social service, politics, medicine, education, or law where a knowledge of Jewish history, traditions, and institutions would be important. All students in the major are particularly encouraged to participate in a relevant internship, education abroad program, or archaeological fieldwork. Penn State students also may enroll to study abroad at a university in Israel, and up to 15 credits of related education abroad courses may be applied to requirements for the major in consultation with the adviser.
