The Judeo-Christian Studies degree at Christopher Newport University offers a comprehensive exploration of the historical, cultural, and theological dimensions of Judeo-Christian traditions. This program equips students with a deep understanding of the religious texts, practices, and philosophies that have shaped Western civilization. The curriculum includes an array of courses that cover topics such as Biblical studies, Jewish and Christian history, ethics, and contemporary religious issues.

Throughout their studies, students will engage with primary texts and critical theories, honing their analytical and interpretative skills. The program is designed to encourage interdisciplinary approaches, allowing students to connect insights from philosophy, history, literature, and sociology.
