A bachelor's degree in Judaic Studies from Portland State University (PSU) prepares students to succeed in the interconnected world of diverse cultures and religions.

In the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies, faculty take the 3,000-year-long history and culture of the Jews as their point of departure for grappling with urgent human questions about justice and knowledge, tradition and change, and crisis and resilience.

Truly interdisciplinary, the Judaic Studies major explores topics in history, English literature, Hebrew language, religion, and film studies.

This program welcomes students of all backgrounds who seek an intensive liberal arts experience. Faculty offer close mentoring to support students' successes. Community partnerships provide opportunities for internships, study abroad and scholarships
