Programs in English for Women

Established in October 2019, JCT’s International program for women has been combining rigorous academic learning with a strong religious environment and Torah study.  The full-time academic programs are fully recognized by Israel’s Council of Higher Education, and all credits will be transferable. Classes will be held between three and five days a week depending on the degree.  Tuition costs will be eligible for partial reimbursement for new immigrants (olim) to Israel.
Our international program strives to empower religious women of all backgrounds- from Haredi, to Modern Orthodox, to everything in between—with the transformative gift of a high-quality academic degree that they can pursue while continuing to embrace a religious lifestyle".~ Siona Margrett, former coordinator for the women’s computer science degree.

Bachelor of Science (B.S.N) in Nursing 

The goal of a bachelor’s degree in nursing is to expand the student’s knowledge of nursing and medical sciences. This degree offers a firm clinical knowledge base and provides students with the tools required to help solve the challenges they will face as nurses in hospitals and the community. 

The program is four years long. The first year and a half of studies take place in English with Ulpan, while the following two and a half years are completed in the Israeli program.

This program involves coursework and clinical fieldwork. Upon completion of four years of study, students take the Israeli Nursing Licensing exam to become registered nurses in Israel.

 

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Business Administration
