We believe that the best learning environment for studying the context of the Bible and encountering the mosaic of the modern Middle East is a classroom without walls.
Our locations for study, whether on campus or beyond our gate, are vibrant, personal, and fully engaging.
On Location For Over 65 Years
Jerusalem University College, also known as the Institute of Holy Land Studies, has grown to become the flagship school for a Protestant world that is increasingly interested in biblically-based studies in the Middle East.
EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS
Read how studying in Jerusalem has impacted how our students understand the world of the Bible and the Modern Middle East today. In the words of Phillip, disciple of Jesus, "Come and see."
“Studying at JUC changed my life and career. It gave me grounding in the study of land and language critical for a proper understanding of biblical literature and history. This still enriches and informs the way I read the Bible.”
