Special Programs
Bar-Ilan offers an International B.A. Program taught entirely in English, and is the first university in Israel to offer a full undergraduate program taught entirely in English. Currently students can choose between a B.A. degree in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, where students can choose between the Macro Track in Economics, Political Sciences, and Sociology or the Micro Track in Criminology, Psychology, and Sociology, or a Major in Communication, with a minor in either English Literature or Political Science. The degrees are internationally-recognized and is open to students from all over the world.
In addition, Bar-Ilan offers a preparatory program that readies new immigrants for Israeli colleges. The university also runs a one-year overseas program called Tochnit Torah Im Derech Eretz, which combines traditional Kollel Torah studies in the morning, separate for men and women, as well as co-ed general university studies and Jewish history classes in the afternoon. Many American students enrolled in regular programs of study in the University also take these Jewish history classes to fulfill their Jewish studies requirements.
