Apart from the benefit of providing an academically rigorous and cross-cultural overseas study program for students at your institution, becoming a member of the Jerusalem University College Consortium of Associated Schools also carries the following benefits:
Study Abroad Program Development: While JUC offers Short-Term programs with standard curricula, you have the opportunity to partner with us to create special Short-Term programs that fit the specific interests and needs of your students and faculty.
Enrollment Status: Your students remain enrolled at your institution, treating JUC as an extension campus under our contractual agreement. As such, they are available to receive funding, other than Title IV funding, from your institution per your set policies and procedures.
Deferred Payment Program: Your students will gain access to a deferred-payment, no-interest installment plan from Jerusalem University College. This program provides need-based funding to qualified students in place of Title IV funds.
Annual Meeting: Your school is invited to JUC's annual meeting where your institution has direct access to JUC administration and board members. At the JUC Annual Breakfast, JUC's leaders share organizational updates and cast vision for how JUC will continue serving your institution well in future years.
School Representative: At each member school, an official representative is appointed who functions as the liaison between JUC and their institution. This representative carries the responsibilities and benefits of actively promoting JUC programs at their school; aiding conversations between JUC, prospective students, and their own school's administrations; and advising the JUC board and administration in ways that are mutually beneficial to the missions and tasks of both institutions.
Faculty Incentive Programs: Your faculty can benefit from two enrollment-based incentive programs:
For every six (6) students from your school who are currently enrolled full-time and paying the standard tuition and fees for the Semester Abroad program at JUC, one of your faculty members is eligible to participate in a JUC Short-Term program of their choice free of charge.
For every fifteen (15) paying students who enroll in a JUC Short-Term program in a rolling three-year period, one of your faculty may join a JUC Short-Term program of their choice at no charge, including an international airfare stipend.
Visiting Professor Program: As openings are available, your faculty have the opportunity to participate in our visiting professor program. In exchange for discounted room and board on the Jerusalem University College campus for the visiting professor and his or her immediate family, your faculty member will teach one course that is included in, or that complements, the curriculum of our normal Semester Abroad program. In doing so, the visiting professor gains a home base from which he or she can pursue sabbatical projects or other research interests in Jerusalem. The visiting professor and his or her immediate family are able to participate in JUC semester courses and field studies at a nominal charge. They are also encouraged to share in the normal student life activities of the semester, including the weekly Shabbat meal and vespers service. Learn more about the Visiting Professor Program.
Schools become members of the Jerusalem University College Consortium of Associated Schools by entering into a contractual agreement with Jerusalem University College. This agreement outlines the obligations of each institution within the consortium relationship.
Member schools must be accredited by the appropriate accrediting agencies in their home countries. Schools in the United States and Canada must be accredited either by one of the regional accrediting bodies or professionally (Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, ATS, Association for Biblical Higher Education, ABHE or Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools, TRACS). Non-North American schools must be accredited according to the nationally accepted accreditation standards of their country or region, such as the Asia Theological Association, ATA.
The theological beliefs, statements of faith, or creeds of all member schools should be compatible with the statement of faith of the National Association of Evangelicals.
Consortium member schools agree to promote the course offerings of JUC in their catalogs and calendars (although they may substitute their own course number equivalencies) and agree to treat academic credit earned at JUC as their own.
Schools agree to keep their students enrolled at their own institutions while studying at JUC, and, under their own guidelines, process any financial aid or awards the student may normally be eligible to receive.
