The Minor The minor in Judaic studies provides a balanced interdisciplinary study of Jewish contributions to world culture and history. It serves the needs of students who plan to (1) specialize in disciplines in which an understanding of Jewish contributions is essential, or (2) follow careers in teaching, community service, foreign service, or the ministry. Students seeking a minor in Judaic studies may want to consider combining it with a major in Social Science with an emphasis on Africa and the Middle East. Many courses relevant to this major are available in anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, and sociology. Judaic Studies Minor Dr. Lawrence Baron, Department of History, is adviser for this minor. The minor in Judaic studies consists of a minimum of 19-20 units to include seven to eight units selected from Humanities 130 and Hebrew 101, 102, or 201; and 12 upper division units selected from Comparative Literature 405, 526; History 440, 488, 574; Religious Studies 301, 320, 330.
