Jewish Studies
As a Jewish Studies minor at Rollins, you’ll investigate the religion, history, and culture of the Jewish people. Along the way, you’ll develop a unique perspective of the Jewish culture’s interactions with the civilizations of the world through an interdisciplinary approach that comes philosophy, religion, art, music, anthropology, and more.
You’ll graduate with a knowledge base that will help you pursue advanced degrees or careers in education, religious studies, international politics, history, foreign languages, social work, public administration, law, or foreign service.
