Judaic Studies at Carleton provides students with the opportunity to explore aspects of Jewish civilization in its historical and contemporary manifestations from the perspectives of a variety of modern disciplines. Judaic Studies examines Jewish history, thought, literature and social life as dimensions of the unique experience of the Jewish people within humanity’s diverse cultural endeavors.
Students may take many courses in Judaic Studies, particularly within a major in Religion. Judaic Studies courses are offered on a regular basis by the Religion Department and the Department of Middle Eastern Languages, and pertinent courses are periodically offered in other departments as well.
