In collaboration with Rice’s Study Abroad Office, the Program in Jewish Studies assists students who wish to spend a semester in Israel. Rice in Israel is open to students from all academic backgrounds (not only to students who wish to focus on Jewish Studies). Rice has academic exchange programs in place with the Rothberg International School at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem in Israel. To learn more, contact the Study Abroad Office (abroad@rice.edu), or ask an advisor of the Program in Jewish Studies.

different countries have been attending the Hebrew University since its earliest days.
