Jewish Studies Program

Established in 1992, the Jewish Studies Program at Michigan State University introduces students to the history, religion, culture and civilization of the Jewish people. Courses survey these themes from biblical times to the present; from ancient Israel to Europe, the United States, and modern Israel; from the Inquisition to the Holocaust; and from biblical texts to modern Hebrew. Students may take courses to satisfy requirements in their major programs or to complete a specialization in Jewish Studies. In addition to advising students about Jewish curriculum and courses, the program director counsels students about study in Israel, financial assistance for study abroad and approved courses of study at Israeli universities; admission to and fellowships for graduate and professional programs in Jewish Studies; and employment opportunities in Jewish communal services and Jewish education.
