Interdisciplinary Studies
Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures (MELC): IDS MELC Hebrew
By assuming an interdisciplinary approach to Hebrew language and culture, students acquire knowledge of the close relationships between politics, history, religions, arts, and cultures in Israel. In addition to working toward proficiency in Hebrew, students will develop close reading and critical thinking skills. Students graduating with this major will find job opportunities in Jewish community organizations, the government, and consulting. In addition, due to the interdisciplinary nature of the major, students will be well prepared for the rigor of graduate studies in the humanities.
