Will I receive university credits when attending an Israel program? Can
University acceptance be deferred?
Credit transferring varies depending on the University. The range of credits that a University will accept is between 0 and 32 credits. Some Universities will accept these credits only if they transfer credits from an accredited institution, such as Yeshiva University or Touro College.
If you study at the Israel Experience at Bar Ilan, you would apply as a transfer student to your chosen university, and your credits would transfer as they would from any other accredited college or university.
In most cases students going to a yeshiva/seminary/gap year program can defer. As each school is unique in the way they accept credits, we recommend confirming your chosen college or university’s policy.
