In order to permit students flexibility within their chosen area or theme, all courses in the Jewish Studies Concentrations are placed into the category "Complementary Courses".

Note: Major and Honours Students are expected to acquire a general background in Jewish Studies and fluency in at least one Jewish language. At the same time, we suggest that students choose 3-4 courses in one area of study, so as to develop a deeper and broader knowledge in that area. (Please see Areas of Study denoting Departmental strengths.)

Complementary Courses (36 credits in Jewish Studies)

24 credits are normally taken at the 300-level or above.

6 credits (minimum) in the history of Jewish Civilization to be chosen from :

JWST 211 Jewish St 1: Biblical Period (3)

or
HIST 207 Jewish History:400 BCE to 1000 (3)
JWST 217 Jewish St 3: 1000 to 2000 (3)
or
HIST 219 Jewish History: 1000-2000 (3)

24 credits in Jewish Studies of which at least 3-4 courses are ideally devoted to a single area of study. (See the list of courses divided by Areas of Study.)

Students without the background necessary to complete the advanced language requirement may substitute up to 12 credits in language.
