Majoring in Jewish Studies at Tulane University
A major in Jewish studies has as a prerequisite one year of Modern Hebrew
(HBRW 101 and 102, or the equivalent). The major consists of at least 30 credits
in Jewish Studies courses, Hebrew courses, or courses in related fields. The major
must include JWST 101 as well as one course in each of the following periods:
ancient 210, 314, 315, 352, 360, 425; medieval 350, 352, 353, 354, 411, 435;
modern 220, 321, 322, 334, 344, 375, 430. At least one course should be at the
400 level or above. Courses taken to fulfill Tulane’s foreign language proficiency
requirement cannot be counted toward the major.

A minor in Jewish Studies consists of 15 credit hours in 5 courses.

101 or JWST 125). Students are not required to take a 100 level course.
-Up to two HBRW courses past the 203 level may count toward the
minor. No courses used to satisfy the University¹s language requirement may
be used as credits toward the minor. Hebrew courses are not required to
