Jewish Studies Major

The major consists of at least 30 credits in Jewish studies courses, Hebrew courses, or courses in related fields. The major must include JWST 1010 and JWST 1020 as well as courses in each of the following periods:

•Pre-modern: At least two courses required from JWST 2100, 3140, 3150, 3500, 3520, 3530, 3540, 3590, 3600, 4110, 4250, 4350.

• Modern: At least two courses required from JWST 3100, 3210, 3220, 3330, 3340, 3440, 3750, 4150, 4210, 4300, 4420, 4670.

Additional JWST courses (and those in other departments) also fulfill the requirements for Pre-Modern and Modern courses. 

At least one course must be at the 4000 level or above. Courses taken to fulfill Tulane’s foreign language proficiency requirement may not count toward the major.

Additional courses require departmental approval for substitution (ex: CLAS and RLST).
