Minor Requirements

The department offers two minors in Religion and in Jewish Studies. 

NOTE: The religion major and human rights and social justice major require the completion of a minor in another department or program unless the student is pursuing a double-major.


Religion minor

Students majoring in other disciplines and wishing to minor in religion must take a minimum of twelve semester hours in the religion curriculum. At least six semester hours of credit must be earned in courses at the 3000 level or higher. Courses in which the student receives a grade below "C–" will not count toward the minor.

Students interested in the minor in religion should contact the Undergraduate Director Dr. Joseph Hellweg or the Undergraduate Advisors Dr. Nicole Kelley and Dr. David Levenson for more information.


Jewish Studies minor

The Jewish Studies minor is concerned with the diversity and complexity of Jewish religious and cultural expression from the time of the Bible to the present day. The minor is interdisciplinary, allowing students to take classes with faculty in various departments at FSU (including but not limited to the departments of religion, history, modern languages, and political science) and to begin to deepen their knowledge of Biblical and/or Modern Hebrew.
