Learn about Jewish History and Jewish Innovation

Through UCR's Study Abroad programs, we send students every year to study in Israel. Want to learn Hebrew in an immersive environment, then why not go to Ulpan at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem or at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev? Or if you prefer the beach, why not take classes at the Israel Institute of Technology (Technion) in Haifa?

Check out these programs in Israel including study and internships offered through the University of California:
