Jewish Studies at Queens College is an interdisciplinary undergraduate program dedicated to the unrestricted inquiry into all aspects of the Jewish experience. It seeks to familiarize students with past and present Jewish civilization in the broadest context of world affairs. It appeals to those with a particular attachment or professional interest in the field, as well as those interested in exploring a culture not their own as part of an enriched liberal arts education. Program courses, therefore, appeal to a broad spectrum of students of disparate ethnic and religious backgrounds. This diversity of student population enriches class discussions by ensuring the airing of multiple perspectives. The Program offers a major and a minor degree. The Program's curriculum features a broad array of introductory and advanced courses representing the spectrum of Jewish imagination and experience, including courses in Bible, rabbinic literature, history, philosophy and Jewish thought, Jewish-Christian and Jewish-Muslim relations, Holocaust studies, Zionism and modern Israel, Hebrew language and literature, Sephardic Studies, music, and sociology.<br>
