THE
MAJOR
Two majors are
offered by the Hebrew Division, a Hebrew major, and a Hebraic Studies
major. Most of our students prefer the Hebrew major, which consists of 24
credits (eight courses) in Hebrew language and literature courses. Some
students, particularly those who began the study of Hebrew in college, take
the Hebraic Studies major which permits the substitution of some courses in
Hebraic Culture, conducted in English, for advanced Hebrew literature
courses.
In line with an
educational philosophy stressing individual student development, the Hebrew
Division has consistently encouraged qualified students to work on their
own research projects by enrolling in the "Independent Studies"
or "Honors" courses offered each term. Such courses allow for
maximum exposure to areas of study not being covered during a specific
term, and for undertaking specific projects in close consultation with
appropriate faculty members. In addition, there exists a series of
Seminars, which allow for specialized and intensive research by advanced
majors, and minors.
