Jewish Studies is an Interdisciplinary Program offered by the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Kentucky. The minor in Jewish Studies familiarizes students with the historical and contemporary cultures, languages, literature, religion, history, and philosophies of the Jewish people. In addition to specific courses offered by the program, students may also obtain approval from the pro

gram director to take courses from other fields provided the course subject matter is significantly relevant to the area of Jewish Studies.
