In addition to the courses offered in the Overseas Student Program, students may attend regular departmental courses which are taught in English, or qualified students with a good command of Hebrew may attend departmental courses which are taught in Hebrew, provided they meet the prerequisites of the particular course. Credits earned in Hebrew may be used to satisfy the foreign language requirement for the B.A. degree. The Ulpan is a required intensive Hebrew language course. Students enrolled for only one semester must take the six Ulpan credits plus fifteen additional credits. Ulpan classes are conducted five hours per day, five days per week.
Weekends are free and students are encouraged to explore the country.
All courses except Hebrew are taught in English by members of the Tel Aviv University faculty. Grading As with any course at The Pennsylvania State University, responsibility for assessing the student's academic achievement lies with the course instructors. Course Selection Courses to be taken at Tel Aviv University must be selected and approved in advance in consultation with the student's academic adviser. Participants may choose from a variety of courses as listed in the latest Tel Aviv University Overseas Student Program course catalogue. Exact registration is subject to availability of courses on site.
