The Jewish studies minor at Virginia Wesleyan University provides students
with the opportunity to enhance their chosen major with a course of study that
includes traditional classes, independent study, and internships. Directed by Eric
Mazur, Gloria & David Furman Professor of Judaic Studies, students enrolled in
the minor enjoy the flexibility to develop their own course of study in a supportive
intellectual environment.
Virginia Wesleyan University—a small liberal arts university on a 300-acre
campus that is just minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay—
inspires students to build meaningful lives through engagement in Coastal Virginia’s
dynamic metropolitan region, the nation, and the world. The University has been
named the #1 college in Virginia for LGBTQ+ students and has been recognized
by the Princeton Review as one of the most environmentally responsible colleges.
It is an inclusive community dedicated to scholarship and service grounded in
the liberal arts and sciences.
