Judaic Studies is an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental field drawing upon the study of languages, history, literature, religion, and culture of the Jews. Jewish society, texts, ideologies, and institutions are studied in comparative perspective in the context of the history and culture of the nations among whom Jews have lived and created throughout the ages and across the continents.

Graduate-level programs are available through the following departments: History (Medieval and Modern Jewish History), Religious Studies (Ancient Judaism, Medieval and Modern Jewish History), Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations (Northwest Semitic, Hebrew Language and Literature), Comparative Literature (Hebrew and Comparative Literature). Applications are made to a specific department and programs of study are governed by the degree requirements of that department.

Other resources include the Judaica collection of Sterling Memorial Library and its Judaica Bibliographer, the Fortunoff Archive for Holocaust Testimonies, the biweekly faculty/graduate student Judaic Studies Seminar, several lecture series, postdoctoral fellowships, and graduate fellowships in Judaic Studies.

Program materials are available on request to the director of graduate studies of the department of intended specialization, or to the Chairperson, Judaic Studies Program, Yale University, PO Box 208287, New Haven CT 06520-8287.
