Program Overview

One of the largest interdisciplinary Jewish studies programs in the nation

A major or minor in Jewish Studies at Emory is an organic component of a liberal arts education. It is also an entrance into all the disciplines of the humanities and social sciences. In an increasingly multicultural society, exposure to the global historical Jewish experience prepares students to pursue an active and informed place in the world, whatever their chosen career or life path.

With a core faculty of acclaimed scholars of history, law, religion, anthropology, ethics, literature, psychoanalysis and language, and with affiliated faculty whose expertise ranges from biological and behavioral anthropology to film and photographic history, TIJS offers students one of the largest interdisciplinary Jewish studies programs in the nation.
