Undergraduate Degree Programs
In Israel, many bachelor’s degree programs can be completed in three years at a university and in four years at a college. However, overseas students are often required to take a one-year preparatory program (mechina) prior to being admitted to an accredited program.
Students are accepted directly to specific departments from commencement of their academic studies. In most cases, they select two majors, which are studied exclusively.
Whereas in the U.S. students wishing to pursue certain professional studies (e.g., law, medicine, dental medicine) must first complete a prescribed number of years of undergraduate study, in Israel students generally pursue professional education from their first year of university studies. These programs, of course, require more than three years of study as well as a period of practical experience or an internship. |
