Jewish Studies

Return to: USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences

Jewish Studies is offered by the Louchheim School for Judaic Studies, administrated jointly by the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, an independent college adjacent to the USC campus, and USC Dornsife’s School of Religion. Students registering for classes in the program do so through the regular USC registration process and receive USC course credit and degrees. Hebrew courses may be used to fulfill graduation requirements in a foreign language. Courses that meet humanities general education requirements may be used as electives or may be used for major or minor credit with the approval of an adviser.
