Hebrew offers a comprehensive series of courses covering the major areas of ancient and modern Hebraic studies. The diversified course of study fully integrates linguistic, literary and cultural approaches to Hebrew studies.
The major consists of 24 credits from courses beyond HEBR 101-102. In general, a Hebrew major is required to complete a minimum of four courses at the 300 level or above in Hebrew. Courses conducted in English may be applied toward partial fulfillment of the Hebrew major provided they are part of a coherent program approved by the head of the division.
