The Jewish Studies Program offers an interdisciplinary approach to the academic study of Jewish culture, history, sociology, literature, art, film and religion. While the focus of Baruch’s Jewish Studies program highlights the American, and more specifically, the New York Jewish experience, all courses that center on Jewish-related subjects fulfill the requirements for the minor. These courses are offered often cross-listed with other departments and are open to all students; they address the historical, social, cultural, religious and political life of American and world Jewry. (See program page for course information) Program coordinators: Andrew Sloin (Department of History; Andrew.Sloin@baruch.cuny.edu) and Jessica Lang (Department of English; Jessica.Lang@baruch.cuny.edu) .
