Michigan State University and Hebrew University are offering a special spring semester program that will allow
students to continue making progress in their academic programs while studying Israeli history and culture. The
program is designed for students majoring in business, finance, journalism, communications, public affairs,
political science, international relations, and the arts and humanities, as well as other majors. All students will be
enrolled in an intensive Hebrew course (Ulpan) that takes place in-country before the regular semester begins.
Thereafter, Hebrew is optional. In addition to coursework, an optional internship working with Israeli businesses,
agencies, and non-profit organizations will be available.

Students will live in dormitories on the Mt Scopus campus and take classes (in
English) at the Rothberg International School and in several departments of
the university. The program is built around a required core course on the
making of modern Israel. This course will include special activities and
excursions.
