Bachelor of Arts in Jewish Studies

The Jewish Studies program at Hofstra University offers interdisciplinary majors and minors, student internships, guest lectureships, and social events throughout the year. In our annual programming, we survey all dimensions of Jewish life – past and present. Particularly, we focus on studies exploring post-Holocaust life and thought, Judaism and global politics, antisemitism and other racisms, Jewish history throughout the world, interculturalities of diverse Judaisms, interfaith studies, Judaism and sexuality, and Jewishness and media (movies, internet, TV).Jewish Studies (JWST) works very closely with its students and helps them discover their passion and the multiple career opportunities that this degree makes possible. In recent years, JWST students have complemented their studies with majors, double-majors, minors, and double-minors in a wide variety of areas. These include radio and TV, psychology, pre-law, education, philosophy, business, journalism, Middle Eastern studies, Latin American and Caribbean studies, theater arts, global studies, European Studies, political science, Hebrew, anthropology, music, women's studies, and religion. And we are adding more complementary disciplines every year, so we encourage you to bring a new bridge to our program.
