Program Guide: Hebrew University. Academic Program: Term or Year You are required to take a full- time course of study while abroad and enroll in four courses, totaling at least 2. UC quarter (1. 5 semester) units per semester (in addition to units earned through the Ulpan). Hebrew language study is required during the fall term for fall and year students and during the spring term for spring students. Most Hebrew language courses earn 9 UC quarter (6 semester) units, and most other courses earn 4. UC quarter (3 semester) units each.

UC quarter units are calculated by multiplying HU semester units by 1. The UCEAP Liaison Officer and staff will help you to prepare your final study plans after arrival in Jerusalem. While it is important to plan your program before leaving UC, also be prepared to make adjustments once in Israel.

Each semester you will take at least four courses, usually including Hebrew (see Language Study section below for Hebrew language requirements). The balance of the academic program consists of Rothberg International School courses (most taught in English) or regular HU classes (taught in English, or Hebrew - if your language skills permit). You may take advanced science and mathematics courses in Hebrew only through HU if you possess the appropriate language skills. The curriculum of the Rothberg International School includes offerings with varying degrees of difficulty and a range of subject matter intended to appeal to a wide spectrum and level of students from many institutions. Most courses focus on some aspect of Israel, Jerusalem, or the Middle East. Of particular interest to UC students are courses in ancient history, anthropology, archaeology, Hebrew language/literature, history, Holocaust studies, international relations, legal studies, Medieval studies, Middle Eastern studies, philosophy, political science, and religious studies.

The Rothberg International School offers a small number of courses in art history, music, education, economics, psychology, and communication. If you possess advanced competency in modern Hebrew, you are encouraged to enroll in Hebrew University courses taught in Hebrew.

Resolve conflicts with final exam scheduling prior to finalizing course registration. Note that HU courses in Hebrew end later in June; see the Calendars tab on the UCEAP Participants page. Language Study Hebrew language study is required during the fall term for fall and year students and during the spring term for spring students. Hebrew courses may be taken on a P/NP basis. Colloquial Arabic will be offered at the beginner's level in the fall and at the beginner's and intermediate level in the spring. Literary Arabic will be offered in the Graduate Division at the beginner's level in the fall and at the intermediate level in the spring.

Note that the Graduate Department has a different calendar, ending later than RIS and requiring a longer stay in housing, with increased housing cost. Also, the timetabling of Literary Arabic may conflict with other courses being taken at RIS.

RIS Arabic Immersion Arabic is one of Israel’s official languages and is spoken in many parts of the country. The RIS Arabic Immersion program is based on the principle of total immersion—the constant and exclusive use of a language in its native social and cultural environment. Studies combine formal classes, interaction with native speakers outside the classroom, and exposure to the religious and cultural elements that have left their indelible mark on the Arabic language.

All studies will be held in Arabic and you will speak exclusively in Arabic for the duration of the program. Course Information: In addition to 1. UC quarter units of Arabic (1. Arab society and culture (4. UC quarter units/3 semester units). You will also participate in a Co- curricular Activities course worth 3 UC quarter units (2 semester units).
