The charter class of 50 students will begin instruction in August 2011. Students will receive instruction in the basic sciences and research on Oakland University's campus in Rochester, and complete clinical training and participate in applied research at Beaumont Hospitals. THE JUDAIC STUDIES PROGRAM Oakland's unique Judaic Studies program presents the opportunity to gain knowledge and understanding of the multi-faceted and fascinating religion and culture of the Jewish people. OU offers a wide variety of classes on Jewish beliefs and values, history, literature, film, archaeology and Hebrew. Additionally, the program strives to present opportunities to participate in international fieldwork. On a recent trip to Khirbet Qeiyafa, the ancient site reputed to be the location of the biblical clash between David and Goliath, 13 OU students assisted with an archaeological excavation. The trip was the culmination of a course that instructed students in how to research and analyze the way archaeology, culture and biblical history work together. oakland.edu/judaicstudies HILLEL AT OAKLAND UNIVERSITY Ws Jewish Student Organization is proud to operate in association with Hillel of Metro Detroit (HMD), a dynamic organization for Jewish college students and young adults who live in the Metro Detroit area.
