Study Abroad

NEW BGU STUDY ABROAD WEB SITE COMING SOON!!

Check back in mid-March to find out why BGU is the #1 choice of Israeli undergraduates, and why it should be yours too.

BGU's Ginsburg-Ingerman Overseas Student Program (OSP) offers a unique study abroad program, where students become part of Israeli society for a year, semester, winter, or summer.

Classes are taught in English, but students study Hebrew, participating in a six-week Hebrew ulpan. Unlike any other Israeli program, Americans and students from other countries live, study and socialize with their Israeli counterparts.

OSP offers academic courses in Peace Studies and Regional Security, Sustainable Development and Environmental Justice and is developing a special science track for students majoring in environmental studies, ecology, marine biology, geology, and geography, as well as a track which will focus on global health issues.

Each area of study offers matriculating courses, individual research with a faculty member, the possibility of an internship and unique volunteer opportunities with the University's extremely popular and successful Community Action Unit.

OSP emphasizes integration with Israeli students and immersion in Israeli society. Students share apartment suites with Israeli students in BGU's dorms, which maximizes contact with Israelis and contributes to fluency in Hebrew. International students are fully integrated members of the BGU student body and have access to all student facilities.

Whether you're a graduating high school student looking for a gap year program, or a college student seeking an Israel study abroad experience, BGU's OSP has an exciting, informative and unique program for you. 

For more information visit the OSP site or contact the New York OSP office at 212-687-7721 or osp@bgustudyabroad.org.
