 Return to: Majors & Programs
The University recommends that qualified students complete part of their studies
in the Holy Land. Living and studying in the land where biblical events actually
took place inevitably deepens the students’ understanding of the Scriptures and
increases their ability to communicate its message. Living abroad also increases
one’s cultural awareness and sensitivity to world events. To facilitate such a
learning and living experience, the University has an affiliation with Jerusalem
University College in Jerusalem.
Located on Mt. Zion, Jerusalem University College provides a unique setting for
study. Its faculty strive to cultivate an enriched understanding of the Christian
faith through a firsthand encounter with the land that includes language, history
and culture. All courses at Jerusalem University College are taught in English.
The curriculum offerings are in the areas of biblical studies, archaeology, language,
history, and sociology. Although students are not on the Langhorne campus while
at Jerusalem University College, they are, nevertheless, fully matriculated PBU
students.

students, similarly qualified, may go for one semester of their second year. Credit
The amount of credit taken at Jerusalem University College appears on the student’s
transcript. The number of credits students receive toward graduation depends upon
their professional program and the total number of credits completed in Israel.
