Jewish Studies is for Everyone!
The field of Jewish studies draws on a variety of academic disciplines to explore and understand the experience of Jews across the world. In the Jewish Studies Program, students engage with Jewish thought, history, and values through classroom discussion, experiential learning, and community engagement. Through our courses and other programs, we offer students both intellectual training and hands-on skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.

"The Jewish Studies program was a truly transformative part of my education at CSUN, and the Applied Jewish Ethics course was particularly enlightening. Showcasing the relevancy of age-old tenets of Jewish ethics in modern contexts raised a fresh and valuable perspective on ethical realities for me, and meaningfully complemented my other academic involvement in Philosophy and Political Science."
- Justin Vines, Class of 2023, Congressional Caseworker, Office of Congressman Brad Sherman
