APPROVED COURSES

The following is a list of courses currently approved for the concentration in Judaic Studies.

Transfer course work from colleges or universities in Israel or elsewhere may also be approved. Consult the concentration advisor about these options. Cross-listed courses are included in the listings for each department in which they may be elected. This list was current at the time of printing.
