Consortium Description |
|
 Approximately
85 accredited colleges, universities and seminaries are
members of the Consortium of Associated Schools of Jerusalem University
College. Thus, students from these schools may develop a program of
study which will transfer into their degree at their home institution.
The schools treat JUC as an extension campus of their own
institution. By prior agreement they send their students for a semester
or year of studies, or for shorter intensive block studies of
two or three weeks duration. | |

Benefits of Membership |
|
Apart from the obvious
benefit of an academically rigorous and multi- faceted cross cultural
overseas study program for your students, there are also the following
specific benefits.
- VISITING
PROFESSOR PROGRAM: Your faculty, as openings are available,
may participate in our visiting professor program which we have each
semester. This normally involves the teaching one course in
Jerusalem for JUC while we provide free room and board on campus for the
professor and spouse (if accompanying). Academic research and
field study opportunities abound in Jerusalem. Consider the benefits of
having members of your faculty who have spent a sabbatical semester
abroad studying and researching in Jerusalem
- FREE FACULTY
INCENTIVE PROGRAM: Your faculty can
benefit from our incentive programs which include our semester abroad
incentive: 1) For every 6 students studying in the semester abroad
program in the preceding two academic years, one faculty member may join
a short term program, including international airfare, free of charge.
2) For every 11 paying students on our short term programs in the last
three calendar years, one faculty member may join a short term program
of their choice. 3) As well, if those 11 students use our
recommended travel agency for airfare then that faculty members airfare
is included. Your faculty leaders enjoy the benefits of free
short-term study abroad opportunities with the leader in the
historical geography of Israel and the region.
- STUDY ABROAD
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT: You can creatively
develop your own exciting semester abroad or three or two week study
abroad program in cooperation with JUC and promote it to
recruit students to your school.
- PRIORITY
STATUS: Your students
receive priority status in admissions and a streamlined application over
other applications made to JUC's semester abroad program. Your students
receive preference for scholarships.
- HOME
ENROLLMENT STATUS: Your students remain
enrolled at your institution, treating JUC as an extension campus under
our contractual agreement, and are thereby eligible for available grants, loans and
scholarships however not Title IV funds.
- BOARD
MEMBERSHIP: Consortium members have the privilege to
elect representatives to the board of directors of Jerusalem University
College in the categories
of Seminaries and Graduate Schools (one rep) and Colleges and
Universities (two reps) as well as a
Chairperson. This four person advisory group forms the membership and
education committee and helps to oversee the academic
integrity of the programs of JUC and ensure that courses
meet the needs of students at the member institutions. The
consortium forms the basis for the accreditation of high academic
standards at JUC.
- ANNUAL
MEETING: Your school would
become a voting member of the Consortium of Associated Schools which
advises the representatives that sit on the board of directors, and
be able to
participate in the annual meeting.
