Study Abroad Programs in Jerusalem, Israel

Let’s play word association. What comes to mind when you hear “Jerusalem”? Do you see winding cobblestone streets and ancient temples and churches? Do you hear the call to prayer and smell shawarma and falafel? Studying abroad in Jerusalem is studying abroad in a city that has played a major role in world events for centuries. It may be one of the oldest cities in the world, but Jerusalem is also the capital city of a country of innovators and entrepreneurs who are leading the charge towards technological innovation in the modern world.

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Jerusalem

Popular Ways to Study in Jerusalem

Jerusalem has been a popular destination for students, travelers, and adventurers of all types for centuries. While some countries are better for certain subjects, there really is a program for everyone in Jerusalem.

Popular subjects to study in Jerusalem. Can you think of a better place to study archaeology than Jerusalem’s Old City? Or you can learn all about business from Israel’s innovators, inventors, and entrepreneurs. Learn one of Israel’s two official languages, or if you’re really ambitious, learn Hebrew AND Arabic. 

Short term and summer programs vs. long term programs. Not ready to spend a whole year abroad? Can’t fit a semester program into your schedule if you want to graduate on time with four majors and two minors? Then come to Jerusalem for a shorter program. Participating in a summer program is no less rewarding and impactful. A summer program is a great option for first timers who aren’t quite ready to leave home for an extended amount of time. There are tons of great short program options in Jerusalem. However, choosing a longer program, like a semester or a full year, gives you the opportunity to delve deeper into the society you are living in. While studying in Jerusalem, it will become a second home, you’ll become a regular at the many produce stalls in the shuk, and you’ll learn where to find the best falafel pita.

Attending universities vs. other program types. There are several options when it comes to deciding where to study abroad in Jerusalem. There are world-class universities, language institutes, cultural institutions, and volunteer organizations. Each one offers unique programs, meaning there are plenty of options to meet your academic needs and interests. Additionally, many US colleges and universities have study abroad offices with resources for you and some operate their own programs abroad. You can opt to directly enroll in an Israeli university, or use a provider or your own university to coordinate your studies abroad. Hebrew University, one of Israel’s largest and most prestigious universities, offers programs in a multitude of disciplines at all levels. They host students from around the world every year. Jerusalem is also home to tons of other schools and programs ready to teach you about just about any topic you can think of.
