Auditors Welcome

Audit a course in Judaic Studies

In Judaic Studies, we take the 3,000-year-long history and culture of the Jews as our point of departure for grappling with urgent human questions about justice and knowledge, tradition and change, and crisis and resilience. The Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies at Portland State University welcomes you to our classes. 

Enjoy:

• Learning and connection
• Intriguing conversations
• Fascinating courses 
• Stimulating interactions with faculty, students, and your peers
