BYU Jerusalem Center

The Jerusalem Center is Brigham Young University’s center for study in Jerusalem. Students enroll through the BYU campus in Provo, Utah, travel to the Holy Land, and live in the center for programs that last approximately four months. Students study a core curriculum that focuses on Old and New Testament, ancient and modern Near Eastern studies, and language (Hebrew and Arabic). Classroom study is built around field trips that cover the length and breadth of the Holy Land, as well as travel to Jordan and Turkey or Egypt.

Master of Arts in Professional Language (MAPL) - Arabic

The Master of Arts Degree in Professional Language (MAPL) is an integrated five-year program that awards both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree at the same time to students who successfully complete the program.

Students must complete the program’s tailored on-campus courses, direct enrollment in an overseas university, and an internship in the target language. (Note: Because the MAPL is an integrated program, enrollees do not receive any type of degree until they have completed the entire program.)
