The Jewish Studies minor is open to all students at the University of Kentucky.  The minor in Jewish Studies requires 18 hours of coursework.  Featuring courses in language, literature, history, philosophy, culture, and religious studies, the minor introduces undergraduates to the more than 4000 years of Jewish culture and society. With 15 courses already on the books, the number and variety of offerings only continues to grow. Students who graduate with minors in Jewish Studies will find themselves equipped with strong research as well as critical reading, writing, and thinking skills poised to be leaders or continue their studies in a wide variety of fields.
