Israel Study Abroad Programs

Students in Israel

Washington, DC, and Israel, two places laden with history, are ideal locations for a two-way student exchange that takes advantage of Â鶹ÊÓƵ's commitment to global education. Time spent in either place has the potential to profoundly affect the way students view the world and their choices for the future. Israeli students will have the chance to study in the nation's capital and participate in its life by interning in one of the organizations that are important in Washington. For many American students, a trip to Israel represents a connection with the past. Opportunities for Â鶹ÊÓƵ students to study in Israel and participate in contemporary Israeli life will enhance this connection.
