Jewish Language Requirements

Jewish Studies majors are required to take at least two courses in one Jewish language (either Hebrew or Yiddish) or literature in the original language. All students with prior Hebrew experience are required to take a Hebrew language placement exam. Students then register for language courses according to the placement results. Only language courses taken at Rutgers will fulfill the Jewish language requirements for Jewish Studies majors.
