Hebrew
Brandeis has many options for those wishing to study Hebrew both on and off campus. Many students studying Hebrew choose to take advantage of the great opportunities offered in Israel to bolster their language skills, gain important cross-cultural perspectives, and learn about the politics of the region. This page contains information that will assist those interested in studying Hebrew in determining how best to integrate study abroad into their Brandeis careers.
Approved Programs
Program & Courses Examples pages are organized alphabetically by department. The Brandeis approved program list database is filtered by programs with Hebrew courses. You may also filter by other parameters like location, housing type, and more.
Experiential Learning
The above links take you to programs that reported they have internships or research available in Hebrew. Study Abroad Advisors can help you work with the program to learn more about the types of opportunities available, as some may be limited, competitive, or have pre-requisites like language requirements.
Receiving Credit in Hebrew Language, Literature and Culture
Students wishing to receive credit in Hebrew for coursework done off-campus during the academic year should discuss these plans with the Study Abroad Liaison. Students hoping to earn credit abroad toward their Hebrew major should confirm with the Hebrew department prior to departing abroad how courses may or may not be able to count. The link above is a list of already pre-reviewed courses and how they can count toward the Hebrew major/minor. Upon return, semester students should complete the Petition to Request Substitution for a Requirement form for final and formal review.
Study Abroad Liaison
To assist students with their academic choices abroad and to help answer any questions about receiving major/minor credit while abroad, each academic department and program has assigned a faculty member to serve as the Study Abroad Liaison. As every department has different policies regarding credit from abroad, the Study Abroad Liaison can assist you with guidance on major/minor credit. Find the Study Abroad Liaison for Hebrew here
