Job Outlook

People complete the degree and go to different graduate programs or work situations. Upon completing a JS Major or Minor, you can tell a potential employer about your skill set:

• Skills in critical thinking and writing, critical historical analysis, socio-cultural analysis and comparative analysis of the "other" equip you for many areas in the academic, business, social-services, law, medicine and professional spheres.
• A broad-based cultural, historical, and artistic background will help you sharpen your analytical skills and writing. A Jewish Studies degree uses a multidisciplinary approach including philosophy, history, sociology and anthropology.
• Cultural literacy prepares you to move intelligently and sensitively through our multi-cultural society. You'll work collaboratively with people from different religious, ethnic, racial, and national backgrounds.
