Israel colleges
lure Americans

Israel has no lack of institutions
of higher learning. Leaving aside
the plethora of yeshivot or re-
search institutes like the Weiz-
mann Institute in Rehovot, Israel
boasts six major centers of higher
education: the Hebrew University
of Jerusalem, the University of
Tel Aviv, Bar-Ilan University, the
University of Haifa, the Technion
(the Haifa-based institute of
Technology) and the Ben-Gurion
University of the Negev. While
these six institutions take care of
most of Israel's higher education
population, a small part of that
population attends more spe-
cialized bodies such as the Bezalel
School of Art and Design, the
Ruben Academy of Music and the
Jerusalem College of Technology.
Four universities have geared
themselves to answer the specific
needs of overseas students. These
are the Hebrew University, Tel
Aviv University, Haifa Univer-
sity and Bar-Ilan University. Ap-
proximately 1,200 overseas stu-
dents — the large majority of
them being from North America
— are enrolled in their programs,
The Hebrew University and Tel
Aviv University, Haifa Univer-
sity and Bar-Ilan University.
Approximately 1,200 overseas
students — the large majority of
them being from North America
— are enrolled in their programs.
The Hebrew University offers
two alternatives. The one-year
curriculum provides students
with first-hand experience of Is-
rael and offers courses taught in
English on Jewish, Israel and
Middle Eastern studies. In addi-
tion, an intensive summer ulpan
is held. The four year program,
while specifically designed for .
foreign students, leads to a reg-
ular Hebrew University degree.
Tel Aviv and Haifa universities
offer similar courses. They differ
from the Hebrew University in
that they allow students to come
to Israel for only one semester if
they wish, during any year of
their college career. Bar-Ilan does
not have a specific program for
overseas students, but instead
provides a one year general
studies course, which includes
Hebrew and religious studies,
taught mostly in Hebrew. Since
most students coming to Bar-Ilan
are religious they already have a
basic knowledge of the language.
- Even though the courses in the
overseas program are generally
connected with Jewish, and Mid-
dle Eastern topics, they do cover a
wide range of topics.
For most, the attraction to
studying in Israel seems to be Is-
rael itself. Barry Spielman origi-
nally came to Bar-Ilan from New
York, for half a year. He's been
there for 1 1/2 years and is now
working towards a regular de-
gree. He decided to stay because
he felt the courses were on a level
comparable to that of American
universities.'
Actually Barry is an exception
to the rule. Ya'ara Gutman,
former administrative director of
the Tel Aviv program, says that,
"if a student here for a year tells
me that he or she wants to give up
the degree they are working on
abroad, I always tell them to go
back and finish their degree, and
