About the Minor
In 2024, the Helen Diller Institute established a minor in Israel studies at UC Berkeley. Sponsoring the Israel studies minor is a key part of the Institute’s vision to bring a rigorous academic lens to the study of Israel at an elite public university. The minor offers an institutionalized path to gaining an expertise in Israel studies. The minor reflects the rich and multidisciplinary nature of the academic field of Israel studies, intersecting the social sciences and humanities as well as law, business, science and technology. Moreover, the it allows students in diverse disciplines — from liberal arts to engineering — to gain expertise in the study of Israel, complementing their primary fields of study.
