Jewish Studies

Housed within the Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts, the Jewish Studies Program offers an academic interdisciplinary minor designed to study and explore Jewish history, culture, faith, and practice. Choosing the Jewish Studies minor allows you to immerse yourself in the rich culture of the Jewish people and prevalent history of modern Israel, and will help you understand the importance of interreligious dialogue, remembering the past, and looking forward to the future. The minor derives its faculty and courses from several departments at the university, so you can easily incorporate it into any curriculum you wish to pursue. Beyond the classroom, we engage the Los Angeles and global Jewish communities actively with signature events, research, and connections in order to help you synthesize and apply your learning. If you are interested in adding the Jewish Studies minor, check out our Advising page for details!
