Requirements
Students must complete the following:
- 6 courses in Hebrew language and/or literature (modern or biblical Hebrew) for a minimum of 20 credit hours. (Students transferring first year language course credit may be eligible to complete the minor with a minimum of 18 credit hours.)
- At least 4 courses must be Hebrew language courses.
- At least 2 courses must be on or above the 300 level. These two upper level courses (which cannot be fulfilled through language testing or transfer credit) must be related in content to Hebrew but need not be a language course per se. These two upper level courses cannot be counted toward either the Jewish Studies major or the area certificate in Jewish Studies.
- A minimum cumulative GPA of a C+ is required for courses taken for the minor. Any course in which a student receives a grade below C- may not be used to fulfill the minor requirement.
- At least 3 of the courses must be completed on the Bloomington campus. Up to 3 courses may be credited toward the minor from language testing and transfer credit or study abroad.
Students interested in pursuing study of courses related to biblical Hebrew might also (with the approval of the Jewish Studies advisor) choose to take upper level courses in rabbinic and biblical literature taught by Jewish Studies faculty.
Students may complete the minor in Hebrew and either the Jewish Studies major or the Jewish Studies area certificate.
Each student's course work must be approved by the Jewish Studies advisor to assure a coherent program of study.
Students must be in a college or school (and not in University Division or the Honors College.)
All students interested in a Hebrew Minor, please call the Borns Jewish Studies Program (855-0453) to arrange an appointment to meet with the Jewish Studies advisor, Dr. Carolyn Lipson-Walker to fill out an application.
