About Us
Who We Are
JUC grounds its mission in the broad evangelical traditions that focus on the centrality of Jesus Christ and the authority of scripture. This backdrop of faith within the context of Jerusalem creates a rich and unique opportunity to educate our students through living learning experiences. Learn more about the mission of JUC below.
HISTORY
We've got History in the Holy Land
Our founding president, Dr. G. Douglas Young, envisioned a graduate-level educational experience in which students would study the Bible in the land of the Bible among the people of the Bible.
Over the years, we have added the M.A. degrees, graduate certificates, a graduate and undergraduate semester abroad program, a variety of intensive travel courses, and online learning opportunities.
LOCATION
This is Our Neighborhood
The buildings and grounds of Jerusalem University College are located in the former Bishop Gobat School property on the southwestern corner of Mount Zion, a short walk from the Old City of Jerusalem.
Not only is our campus within close proximity to the rich academic and cultural resources of Jerusalem, it itself is an archaeological and historic site. Our campus provides a secure, full-service environment for our students.
