The Seminary is associated with the Jerusalem University College (www.juc.edu). Students who participate in this program may receive academic credit upon approval by the Registrar, in consultation with the relevant department coordinator, and scholarship aid may be granted to help defray the costs of such participation. Information concerning Holy Land studies may be secured from the Director of the Program for Holy Land Studies.
Students in the programs indicated below may complete part of their program at the Jerusalem University College (JUC) as indicated:
1. Elective course work for the M.Div. or the M.A.R. program(s) may be selected from among approved Master’s-level courses at JUC. A student may request transfer of up to 18 elective hours based on the student’s program.
2. Up to one-third (two courses) of the course work for either the Th.M. in Old Testament or the Th.M. in New Testament may be selected from among approved Master’s-level courses at JUC.
3. Up to one-third (five courses) of the course work for the Ph.D. in Hermeneutics and Biblical Interpretation may be selected from approved Master’s-level courses at JUC. Normally, students will need to complete additional work in each of the Master’s courses taken at JUC in order for those courses to count in Westminster’s Ph.D. program. Arrangements for this additional work should be made in advance through the coordinator of the Ph.D. Field Committee at Westminster and in consultation with the appropriate faculty member at JUC.
4. Any academic work completed by a Westminster student at JUC will be regarded as transfer work when it is applied to the student’s program at Westminster.
5. Westminster students who, under provisions (1), (2), and (3) above, take any work at JUC ordinarily will be expected to participate in an approved Reformed ministry in Israel.
