CCU students may participate in the semester-long program of Jerusalem University College located on Mount Zion, Israel; credits earned at JUC will be transferred to CCU. This program has three academic goals: for students to gain an deeper understanding of Scripture, to give students an introduction to the culture and religions of the region, and to help students in developing a biblical perspective on their field of study. Students take courses in biblical, religious, and cultural studies, and they participate in several field trips. To apply, students must have completed one year of college with a GPA of 2.00 or higher. Visit the program’s web site at http://www.juc.edu/ or contact CCU’s Life Directions Center  for application procedures. See courses under the JUC prefix for course descriptions.
