UMass Amherst's Bachelor of Arts in Judaic Studies explores the history and cultures of the Jewish people from antiquity to the present. Students take introductory and upper-level courses in subjects such as Hebrew language, Yiddish, Jewish history, Israel studies, philosophy, politics, law, and film. Required courses include JUDAIC 101 (The Jewish Experience I: Ancient to Medieval), JUDAIC 102 (The Jewish Experience II: Medieval to Modern), two years of Hebrew language, six upper-division Judaic Studies courses, a Junior Year Writing requirement, and an Integrative Experience Seminar. Study abroad in Israel is encouraged to deepen language skills and cultural understanding. The program develops critical analysis, research, and argumentation skills, and serves as preparation for careers in education, communal service, social work, the rabbinate, law, business, medicine, arts, and academia. 来源： https://www.umass.edu/judaic-near-east/judaic-studies/minors
