Jewish Studies Minor
		The Minor in Jewish Studies is intended to provide students with an overview of the beliefs, culture, history and religion of Judaism and the Jewish peoples in inter-action with surrounding cultures, from ancient times to the present, as well as an opportunity to become more knowledgeable about selected areas of the Jewish experience.  All Minors are required to complete a mandatory set of two core courses, which may be taken in any order, and which together provide an overview and introduction to Jewish culture and history.  These courses enable students to place in proper context material in the additional courses they take for the minor. Requirements for the Minor in Jewish Studies The Minor consists of five courses, which must be taken in at least two different Departments and at least one of which must be at an advanced level. The requirements for the Minor are the following: a. Introduction to Early Judaism (RELI 024), which covers material through the Muslim conquest. b. Introduction to Modern Judaism (RELI 034), which picks up where Reli 024 ends, and continues to the present time. The additional courses required to satisfy the minor in Jewish Studies must be taken from a list of courses approved by the Faculty Steering Committee of the Carolina Center for Jewish Studies. Only courses in Modern Hebrew at the 5^th semester level or higher can count as courses toward the Minor.
