Students have access to the extraordinary heritage of pharaonic antiquities and Islamic art and architecture at the Cairo Museum, the pyramids of Giza, tombs of Saqqara, and a myriad of other sites near Cairo and throughout Egypt. Students are housed in dormitories or shared apartments.
Students enroll in four courses per semester.
Students lacking proficiency in Hebrew attend the intensive summer program in Hebrew. This intense academic and experiential program focuses on the cultures and conflicts of two peoples who claim the same land. Working out of the city of Jerusalem, the program draws upon the resources of the city as well as upon Israeli and Palestinian leaders and educators throughout Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip. Students also study introductory Hebrew and Arabic. Volunteer activities include working on a Kibbutz or a farm on the West Bank.
