These courses must be taken at University Park. Living Arrangements Students are housed in university dormitories located on the campus of Tel Aviv University. Room assignments are made once the students arrive in Israel. Every effort is made to match American students with Israeli students. The Tel Aviv Program is open to all regularly enrolled students at Penn State.
Participants are generally in their junior or senior year standing during their time abroad.
Before departure, students must complete at least one 3-credit course dealing with the Middle East, Biblical studies, or Jewish religion and culture. Orientation A specially-designed orientation program, conducted during the semester before departure, is intended to prepare participants for the adjustment to living and studying in Israel. Attendance at all orientation sessions is mandatory. Costs Tuition charges for the program are the same as at University Park and are payable at the Bursar's Office in accordance with the standard procedures and deadlines for such charges at the University Park Campus. Room rent is paid in advance by the student directly to the American Friends of Tel Aviv University in New York.
