We offer one of the only fully-online bachelor’s degrees in Jewish Studies.

If you are on campus, you can earn your degree in Jewish Studies with a mixture of online and in-person classes. UWM is also one of the only places where you can learn Modern Hebrew in fully online classes, allowing you to take classes from anywhere in the world and to fit language learning into the rest of your schedule. Special pricing for fully online students is available and particularly beneficial for out-of-state students.

Studying Jewish Studies at UWM allows you to engage richly with the culture and religion of the Jewish people through language, history, arts, media, politics, and literature. Our personalized program really lets you get to know your professors. Our approach to Jewish Studies is broad and inclusive, attracting Jewish and non-Jewish students.  

Our students go on to careers in Holocaust education, Jewish communal services, religious education, or on to rabbinical school or advanced graduate study. Some of our students double major in Jewish Studies and History, or Jewish Studies and Religious Studies, as some of our courses count for both majors.
